Bus (or maybe more) on the 3 not following the front door only boarding rule. Driver opening all doors and Oyster readers still activated Similarly seen on the 159 at Brixton this morning, no amended stickers and all readers still working. To my annoyance I forgot to check the bonnet number EDIT: another unmodified one on the 148 Did see one modified LT whilst waiting at the checkout at WHSmiths yesterday so they have started

Were you guys expecting to see all oyster readers and door signs changed overnight?

Don't necessarily agree with that, as long as the door operating mechanisms have changed ... signage can be applied retrospectively in my eyes. As long a signs to not say you can board by any door ... it is not encouraging or authorizing anyone to break the new procedure

Well that's what happened Would much rather the information being changed in advance like this instead of gradually afterwards. Could argue the information is now incorrect on the buses not treated but what's the point in trying to debate anything here now..... Good luck to passengers!

Well that's what happened Indeed, my mum told me that the 3 she was on the other day had them all sealed off and the driver wasn’t letting people on through the middle & rear doors either.

Had some interesting experiences of the LT boarding changes today.
A friend sent me a text saying that he was on the 3 and when someone boarded through the back door the drivers refused to move.
Took the 148 from Hyde Park Corner to Shepherd's Bush, many passengers were confused when only the front door opened to let people on. Didn't see anyone left behind as eventually all those waiting for the middle or rear door to open realised only the front door was open. Nevertheless, it still did a very good job of causing confusion amongst passengers.
