The new BYD Enviro200EVs (BEL) for Metroline on the route 46 are LJ18 registered and have broken Metroline's tradition of LK** *** registered buses. Does anyone know why this is the case?

Does anyone when know when Elizabeth Line services will start running in passenger service on the GWML? If you are after the introduction of the operator, that should be on the weekend of the 19th of this month, the services will be branded as the Elizabeth Line in 2018 with the whole service from the West running through the core in December 2019. That's the plan, although the speed in which things will actually open is anyone's guess by this point OK thanks a lot:)

That would be terrific. As a resident of the Havelock area, the people do need another bus service. The measly little E5 always seems to be packed. It would be amazing if a double decker route would go down there. Larger buses, new links and a frequency increase.

On the E5, you could get off at the Gregory Road bus stop and walk directly down Havelock Road. The bus serve the Havelock Estate and the drivers will also change over. Normally, the bus would take 1-2 mins, but sometimes the drivers take 10-15 mins to change over:( You won't even get a funny look from the driver because it will be a different one, although some of the passengers may give u a weird look.

This morning The Green in Southall appeared to be closed for some reason. Therefore the northbound routes were diverted via Havelock Road and Merrick Road, while the southbound routes were diverted via Merrick Road and Norwood Road (although I think the E5 in the Toplocks Estate direction would completely miss out Featherstone Road, Sussex Road, Western Road, and the bit of Havelock Road outside the Gurdwara, instead going left direct from Merrick Road to the northern bit of Havelock Road). This morning, The Green was open but the traffic northbound was absolutely ridiculous! I got on 2 Curtailed E5's, 1 Curtailed 105 and 1 Curtailed 95 to get to school! Not the best of days. The traffic keeps on getting worse on The Green and the approach to Southall Broadway. A fair chunk of the E5 would be missed if it is going down that diversion route.

8146 and 8145 are sounding rather ill, on the E5. They are waaaay louder than any of the other other Enviro 200 MMCs, wonder why?

I'm sure the E5 could at least take 9.7 metre Enviro 200 MMCs. This is the mistake Abellio did when tendering for the E5, they won it with 8.9 metre buses, which are obviously insufficient. The second door would come in very handy.

Harrow and Southall are quite near to each other, but don't have a link.

The 95 and 105 are diverted via the E5's routing from Dormers Avenue bus stop to North Avenue bus stop. They aren't serving Dormer's Wells Lane, Burns Avenue and Carlyle Avenue. This is just proving that the E5 should be able to take longer buses, but of course TfL don't listen. The E5 is severely struggling. About 10 people and I were waiting at the Denbigh Road bus stop and each and every E5 was packed to the brim. 3 buses had to go past, until I could get on, but your guessed it: that bus was really crowded as well! I was shocked the 105 and 95 could do the Denbigh Road / Lady Margaret Road junction Does anyone know why the 105 and 95 were diverted today?

95: Extend and divert this route to Southall Waterside (As TfL already plan to) H32: Extend this route to Greenford Broadway. Using Uxbridge Road, Milford Road, Kenton Avenue, Waverley Road, Burns Avenue, North Road, Allenby Road, Mansell Road, Greenford Broadway and then Terminus shared with E1, E2, E3, E11. Renumbering H32 to E4, to match the E-Line network, surrounding it. 482: Extend and divert this route to Hayes & Harlington Station via Southall Waterside, instead of the H32. After serving the "Ringway" bus stop, it will turn a right onto Thorncliffe Road and then turn a left on to Norwood Road. At the roundabout, it will take the 3rd Exit on to Merrick Road and then will turn a right on to South Road, just before Southall Station. The 482 and new E4 will serve previously unserved roads and the 482 will also serve new housing (Havelock Estate, Merrick Road regeneration and Middlesex Business Centre)
