There would be war alot of the people that use the ELT routes don't bother to pay in normal circumstances as I have seen on the EL1 and EL2. same with the 149 as well supposedly, never gone on the the route probably only been on it from London Bridge to Liverpool street When I did the 149 end to end the bus was stopped twice by revenue and each time 5/6 passengers were caught!

On the way back from doing the 212 & 444 today, I managed to make the 415 after spotting it upon exiting the tube station only because of the front boarding only policy which had caused a large queue and resulted in increased dwelling which I feared would happen. Single door boarding sucks on busy routes though for a driver...you stop at the bus stop and you might as well boil a kettle for tea because it will take 4 minutes for everyone to board. It's only going to be the same as on a two door bus.

If LTs can be moved from one firm to another, get new logos, new blindsets, etc to operate next day¹ from their new garage then surely it must be a whole lot easier to deal with oyster readers and door signs within that same time period. ¹ ‐ or a matter of hours in some cases Are you serious ... if so wake up to the real world. It is so much more than 1 route! Sorry, had enough of dealing with idiots tonight ... can't cope and totally give up if it is just going to continue on here. I think calling M1104 an idiot, especially given he is a respected long time member who is never involved in any arguing, incredibly insulting - your entitled to disagree with him but no need to go overboard.

Guys, I would like to apologise for my behaviour over past 48 hours, but something left me very angry about life and I took it out on a few posters. Upon reviewing my posts, maybe the sentiment of my posts was correct, but the way I delivered them was very wrong, for which I humbly apologize. I understand if those affected don't accept this apology.

On the 6th March the following LT routes will go front door boarding only: 3, 16, 24, 27, 68, 91, 148, 159, 168, 189, 390 & 415 Many thanks ... without doing comprehensive check looks like all Metroline and all remaining Abellio LT operated routes .... so leaves RATP, Arriva and GAL **EDIT** contains 148 as well My next LT ride is likely to be route 267 in July. I am prepared that all routes could be front boarding only by then. My most recent LT ride was on route 21 in 2017. Then the driver stopped with the front entrance pretty much exactly where I was, at a lightly used stop where it interchanged with route 394. I therefore had little choice but to board at the front. The front-only boarding policy negates the good of having 2 staircases and 2 exits.

I saw loads of that turning under Arriva, but not yet under Go Ahead. Cool, yes I get the 176 quite often and have yet to see that turn until today when I saw two terminating there. I'm guessing that may have been in relation to Extension Rebellion on the Waterloo Bridge

Seems like they are focusing mainly on South London routes. I'm guessing NX is not quite ready though as the 21 and 453 do not appear to be included on this round.
