Page 128) The 287 being rerouted? Probably because of A13 Traffic, but very odd to reroute

One of those documents where the forensic eye of snoggle is so sadly missed. I can't say I took a lot of encouragement from the 'focus on the customer' bit - still seemed more about 'what can we get away with cutting'. There's a fair bit of smoke and mirrors in the new & improved routes part. The map seems nonsensical in its separation of core, connecting and local. A major strategic route in outer London like the 51 is shown as local throughout.

Interesting to see the plans to consult on links into both Royal National Orthopedic Hospital and Finchley Memorial Hospital.
The former was previously mooted to be an extension on 324 and the latter has previously been suggested as 382 but not sure how that would work - I await with interest.

For the Finchley Memorial Hospital, I've suggested that the 383 should extend to the hospital to provide the direct link

Latest TfL Finance papers 30th September now available Some of the Juicy stuff (how skint are TfL) is either to follow or in exempt (not public) part content.tfl.gov.uk/finance-committee-20200930-agenda-papers-public.pdfper page 17 seems TfL has signed off £94.78m for Liverpool Street platform 16-18 works £75.20m to reconfigure Old Street roundabout £65.13m for works for one person operation on Piccadilly line Seems odd as I thought these had been decided ages ago

Interestingly on page 6, the Financial Stability Plan submitted to the government earlier this year assumed new revenue streams either through retention of Vehicle Excise Duty or a Greater London Boundary charge. Given that Grant Shapps has already ruled out a rebate of VED, it’s clear what TfL will have to do. I wonder if the government will be lobbied by Conservative MPs representing constituencies bordering the new charge zone to think again.

Yes it's probably the outer constituencies on the edge which are largely conservative (Sutton, Carshalton & Wallington, Croydon South, Orpington, Bromley, Uxbridge etc) that would be most affected and have the most opposition and are ofcourse politically opposite from the Mayor.

To me once again this almost feels like a political campaign from the mayor which is to reduce bus services in their own boroughs but appeal to other boroughs to gain the vote.
Not starting conspiracy theories or anything.

Interesting though that TfL themselves haven't dropped the VED scheme even though Grant Shapps ruled it out, talk is that Khan will still try to push it through at some stage.
