Khan’s third win is off the back of voter apathy and a lack of a good alternate candidate. I don’t see things improving much with Khan’s third term, it’ll be much the same as the first two terms I blame the other parties, also been mentioned elsewhere that Conservative party HQ did little to support Hall, in effect the same that they did for Bailey. When it was Boris, Goldsmith etc they went all out behind them.

Khan officially declared the winner, 3.2% swing to Labour. I’m disappointed in Khans win. I think people voted with a better the devil attitude and when combined with the lack of a credible challenger to his candidacy across all parties it felt like an inevitably. He, for me, doesn’t represent what this city needs but rather the division that has been building in politics the last few years. With that said good luck to him for a third term. I don’t see any real improvements coming and I just hope things don’t get worse. The only bright spot is that he has committed the next government to billions of pounds of spending in London which could prove divisive in the near future but honestly we don’t need another Olympics or Wrestlemania. The real credible alternative imo was Rob Blackie, trouble is, people are just two track minded when it comes to voting either Labour or Conservative.

Seems Londoners have used the vote to send a message to the government instead of focusing on is that affect the capital. I do understand the reason people have done this but still disappointing we will have 4 more years of Khan. Londoners have voted, much like the rest of the country with their own mayors as to who they want running the city as opposed to government. Even if there's personal disagreement the fact as of now is that people want Khan to continue running the city with the policies that he set out. If these results continue throughout the rest of the day there'll be a huge mandate for Khan. I doubt so, most of it is against central government. There is a lot of talk saying that a lot of the green and Lib Dems also voted for Khan purposely to keep Hall out and a lot of people who would have voted Conservative refuse to vote or vote for other parties on purpose.

Quite surprised something along these lines hasn't happened sooner. Nice to see them filling SF garage back up again. So does that mean at times the 158 will be operatored out of AR like the 157 used to do on Sundays from TH? No, the same way how Ash Grove after was an outstation to [CT] in the past year.

Low turnout (40.5%) and Highest turnouts in outer regions (Havering, Croydon, Sutton, Bromley) could still see a very close result. I did say this it would be a low turn out and close result. But people here were constantly saying Khan would win by extreme margins due to the pollsters, I never trust them.London mayor election: Voter turnout 40.5%Voter turnout was 40.5% in the London mayoral election, down 1.5% overall from 2021, London Elects has announced.www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-68953047

Very simple. Were you on the bus when it got delayed? You have no proof of how far you travelled. Maybe time to give up. Simple if you get off a bus you mention that on the form, TfL have the ability to check what time a bus reached a stop. If you got off you really have no way to check what exact time it reached subsequent stops, unless you however go down the route of committing fraud. As mentioned by another post, you will most likely have to pump a lot of work into this. But there's no reason why bus users are forced to pay full price for poor performance when both train and plane passengers get compensation after a set time limit. It would be ripe for fraud. Purely down to the fact no one taps out. People find out delays further ahead and were not on the route, they would make it up. People in this country are far too dishonest, the same way how bendy buses were seen as free buses.

The 1 is still on diversion after an extended road closure via King’s Cross St Pancras is not serving Eversholt Street. This was seen today by the British Library. But the 253 is seemingly doing a half service with buses going down to Euston, but half are cutting short to Mornington Crescent. I had imagined all were short to Mornington Crescent, however yesterday I had only seen one bus at stand which made me believe it was doing the half service. Anyone know any clearer? They should be all serving Euston

About time Stagecoach put the buses that are supposed to be on the 276 contract out. It's embarrassing that the public have had to put up with the e200's and they were allowed to start the contract with them. They were knackered when they were on the 488 contract let alone starting a fresh contract with bandit blinds, no blinds or smokey smelly busses. To be frank I think it's ridiculous tfl let them do it. If stagecoach can't source buses that are suitable for the route then they should have paid go ahead to carry on running the route or tfl should fine them for every bandit bus they put on the route. All well and good having nice shiny buses when they're all parked up in LI gathering dust. I saw some of the E200's on the 276 a few weeks ago and was like wtf. It seems like they were left outside to be battered like the RM's in the carpark at [WH] which have been left to be deteriorated. A few of them with failed blinds, but no the forums favourite NEVER has things like this happening, especially taking on a new route where they are on point and shows the other operators how it is done.

Due to the horrific stabbing around Hainault Station earlier half the 247s are curtailed to Hainault, The Lowe. Also saw on the news picture that Stagecoach 19808 was cordoned off as well, presumably it's on the 247 and just passed by the crime scene. There was two 247's stuck in there and one 150 namely being T172

Random but saw 10344 this morning in Romford with a MASSIVE STAGECOACH logo on the rear , looked quite good to be fair are they all going to have this ? If this is one of the MMC's I have seen it looks stupid.
