The 65 is notable for having 2 buses in a minute then nothing for 20 minutes. It urgently does need help the 235 seems more logical solution evrn if single decked. I him the problem with 65 is the run between Richmond and Kew Bridge always heavy traffic Sending the 235 to Ealing is not logical in its current form. What if the 235 become popular and becomes overloaded itself? Why does the 235 have to go to Ealing? Why can’t the E1 or E9 be extended Brentford County Court via the 65 and the 235 or send it further to Osterley Tesco’s? Sending a route with single deckers to Ealing via the 65 makes no sense because it will get overloaded itself and believe it will. It would be fine if the 235 had double deckers or was converted to double deck but at the moment that’s not possible due to residents in the Sunbury area. We can't extend everything - for instance, when the first Cummins Streetlites were new to the 192, an error from the blind manufacturers saw the route terminate in Anfield, Liverpool instead of Enfield,  adding lots of unnecessary mileage and suffered with the PVR... because Streetlite blinds are so hard to replace, they had to replace the entire fleet with the current Daimler ones   Jokes aside there's no political will or funding to add the extensions you desire... only way for the E1 to help the 65 is for it to follow the 65 route to Richmond at least  |

There’s no funding to fund my ideas but its okay to fund the extension of the E10 with small single deckers with one door to Osterley via the 65 and H91. |

When coming over kew bridge heading south it's on the left hand side. I've never seen a bus use it before. LT used it for photographs when a new bus was introduced. There's photos around of a 'T' type on stand for the official photo. (If I can find one I'll post it) |

E1 would be better as its shorter . Maybe use Green Dragon Lane as turning point as old H29 did ( behind the Steam Museum )

Any chance we could move these posts into the relevant thread rather than have a separate one that literally serves the same purpose?
