I am not skipping lessons to go on a bus, hopefully someone can ask the driver nicely to do a dashboard visual. Anyways, I still have the 969 I can ride. Although the wait is quite long, especially if you miss the bus on a Friday. I do sought of want to do the last Epsom X26 though, but the risk of it not being a Citaro...(PS I looove Citaros) Not all the way to Croydon though, my bed in Teddington is a more appealing place to get off to.

I used to skip P.E. in school and enrichment in college just to ride buses. I was never learning anything in P.E. as I'd already dropped it as a subject for GCSE so wasn't missing anything whilst enrichment was just afternoon activities and I had better things to do at times such as catch up on work or revise but otherwise have bus ride lol.

I've bunked off so much from college in Year 13 my attendance was below 50%.... and still ended up with reasonable A-Level grades For buses of course Sadly I'd be evil if I encouraged what I did to others 😈

As we are in "confession mode" I can honestly say I have never skipped school or polytechnic to go chasing after buses.

However every now and then during my 2-3 hour breaks in sixth form I used to go to London Bridge or St. Paul's and come back to college via the 172 or 343. But i mainly did my bus travels after my lessons for the day. Man, I miss free travel...

No concessions back then and I opted to buy the more expensive Capitalcard as it gave BR trains as well as tube and buses. I made up for it by having decades of free travel as a LU employee.

Message on the journey planner saying its confirmed as withdrawn I may well do it in my lunch break but oddly I can't find anything confirming this on internal systems. Even rang BC and the person I spoke to said they'd never heard of the route and I had the wrong garage! Didn't realise the bus actually goes into the Kingswood Estate - used to go there 15 odd years ago to attend summer play scheme at Langbourne and it passes through my old haunt (though I never actually saw one) so it'll bring back some memories.

I always end up taking the tube anyway

Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if today isn't the last day. Not seen any internal updates, schedules in until 21st April and spoken to BC who know nothing about it finishing today. But then maybe I've looked in the wrong places/spoken to the wrong people!
As for bunking, don't do it!
