Has N137 been converted to LT? it may be an electric problem at the Brixton bus garage. It looks like a swap between 137/N137 instead of 417/N137 for an emergency cover.

Streatham Station would make the most sense. Depends on how frequent this route will be - it really wouldn’t surprise me if they either force it to use the unused Ambleside Avenue stand otherwise the only other option would be to push the 60 to Ambleside Avenue instead if room is an issue one problem is, the bus can't terminate for much more than 2 mins stand because of drivers need to leave from car park in back of the buildings. here

From TfL upcoming: Changes to buses from Saturday 6 April 2024: Route 273 will be rerouted in both directions via Winn Road and Exford Road to Burnt Ash Hill. Jevington Way and Senlac Road will no longer be served. This is due to issues with parked vehicles causing issues to buses. it looks like the change was postponed.

The Same for route 181/284 (181 start in 1984 / 284 start in 1989) when Selkent lost it to Kentish bus in 1994, then kentish bus ran into the problem, and lost it to Metrobus in 1996, then lost back to Selkent (stagecoach) in 2001 then lost to Metrobus (GA) in 2006 then lost again to Stagecoach Selkent in 2018.

What a surprise! we got the consultation for route 273 reroute, the feedback was closed case and they haven't decided on that part of route 273 via Exford Road instead of Jevington Way/Senlac Road.

269 to Chislehurst, War Memorial (from Bexleyheath) 233 to New Eltham Station 229 to Erith (from Sidcup QMH) SL3 to Bexleyheath, Townley Road (from Bromley North) There’s a burst water main at Sidcup Station that is causing havoc. Thames Water should just put Tents allover Sidcup because they are always coming back same for Chislehurst too!

Has the withdrawal of the 54 between Elmers End and Croydon been a mistake? I find it odd that there is no direct bus service between Beckenham High Street and Croydon, obviously TfL try to encourage use of Tramlink but not helpful that the trams don’t reach Beckenham High Street. I don’t count the 367 as direct. Extending the 289 from Elmers End to Beckenham Junction Station would be useful. I thought the 54 and 353 changes were mistakes although the reduction of bus services between Croydon and New Addington was inevitable. The 289 did go to Beckenham Junction in addition to the 54 for a few years in the late 70s/early 80s. Bus/tram interchange at Elmers End is awful for anybody with mobility problems. 289 1st March 1980289 4th October 198131st July 1982289 4th September 1982before withdrawn between Elmers End Green and Beckenham Jct 289 27th April 1985

There isn’t anywhere for a route to stand at Bromley South Station. Yes there is a Bus Stand it is on Simpsons Road. Was supposed to be for the 126. The Ringers Road stand was only meant to be temporary 11 years later… Waste of money building it and it isn’t in use. I had a quick look at Google Street View and omg, I didn't know that Simpsons Road has its own bus stand mark! but.. it should be better off the other side of the road and it seems a narrow road after turning the corner from the roundabout! Had TfL decided not to go ahead for bus 126 to return back to Simpsons Road anymore? however, it may be difficult for bus driver need to get off the road but nowhere for bus driver to walk up for toilet or break grab etc.

View Attachment EH121 seen to be logged in to SW routs N87 & 88, as well as NPs N91 maybe they logged it for fun or testing by bus driver at Q.

What is going on with some buses don't have any white with SL2 banding on? Pretty poor organisation. One bus still not showing SL2 but final destination show. Come on DX do something about it. Two weeks now! Still not fixed!! I know I’m like a parrot but you need to direct the blame at TfL contractors not Arriva. Do people really think the vinyl wrap is sent to the garage and they apply this themselves? Ok I will email it to TfL but they will blame Arriva instead. 🤷🏻♂️
