So If I asked them if the 77A is running, they will probably respond saying Yes. My friend did exactly that, but with the T32. Sadly no response. Still thinking? That reminds me, a while back they told someone 9H is still running. In 2018 - when the route was withdrawn in 2014 🙈 I just asked what operator runs the 77A & T routes lol They juat gave me the link for the find your bus operator page lol They can't even tell me that they don't run!

The bus stop flag "Carlisle Road" on Stag Lane has recently been moved to its new location, though there is no 303 tile yet. The shelter hasn't been moved and neither has the flag on the opposite side of the road. I suspect this will happen in the next week; the 303 should soon be able to lose its long-standing diversion. It looks as though TfL have been reading the forum again, because things seem to finally be progressing!

londonbusroutes.net indicates that the two 'temporary' diversions are due to end and the route should be restored from the first journey on Monday 15th April. I don't know how likely this is as nothing official has been said about it, but it would be welcomed in the community I'm sure!

Hopefully this means it can go back to business as usual and having busy 303 journeys once more. When I visited the area recently and did the 303, there was never more than three people on the bus. I’ve been to the area previously while the 303 was under Arriva and saw multiple 303’s packed to the door.

One thing that is for sure is that the Edgware end of the 303 will not get as busy as it once was - lots of people used to use it to get from Edgware to Deansbrook, but of course thats no more! Can't really speak on the Colindale end as such though, don't really know how busy it was at that end.

As expected, the 303 diversions are still in place with no updates from TfL. According to londonbusroutes.net whos website was updated 2 days ago, the diversion ends next month... though again I find this extremely unlikely.
Some better news though - the 125 is due to be extended to Colindale Station from Monday 6th May 2019. This is around the time when the London Borough of Barnet head offices will be fully operational, with this being the reason there has been a sudden push for installing necessary infrastructure along Greyhound Hill (bus stops, cage markings etc.)

Of course they don't come available until November though, so will probably have to use spare TEs until then.

Usually such changes happen on a Saturday.

First Captial operated the D8 into Stratford City for 4 Days before it transferred to Go Ahead London.

Metroline will only have 3 weeks to find spare buses for the 125 to cover the extension That won't be a problem for Metroline as they do have plenty of TE's surplus at PB as 134 and 43/271 at HT aren't using the TE's anymore due to the ULEZ. No doubt this would have been planned in advance a while ago.

It'll be a callback to when the 125 was operated by Arriva

Usually such changes happen on a Saturday. The date came from a Barnet Council website talking about the consolidation of their services at new premises in Colindale. I assume the change will actually occur on Sat 4th May but Barnet's new offices only come into formal service as from Monday 6th May. EDIT - probably the 7th in reality as the Monday is a Bank Holiday.
