In answer to the actual thread question. The 148.
My opinion about the 13. TT have not done themselves any favours with this contract. X is not a good position to run it from. PB , or HT much better.
BT also not a good garage to run the 13. They will have similar problems with schedules.
BT should pick a smaller, easier to run non Zone 1 or 2 route to replace the 139.

52 - We see plenty of GA buses in Victoria, and Metroline better reflects the link from there to Willesden I fully agree about the 52, its a great route and there are few Metroline routes using conventionals in Central London as it is and I really like the route. Sticking with the Notting Hill Gate and Victoria theme, I don't want GA to win the 148. I don't often mind where LT routes end up because it's the same bus so you don't really a notice a difference as such. For example if the the 148 had conventionals RATP would stand out in Elephant and Castle as that's the only route they run there and if Go Ahead won the route they would stand out in Shepherds Bush but because they are LTs it won't look much difference. Although I do agree that I don't want Go Ahead to gain the 148. |

I'd say if any was transferred to another operator it would be the 199 to Morden Wharf along with the N199 which could operate either from there or Orpington. Not saying it's impossible for Go Ahead to win them - bearing in mind that the 171 starts from Catford garage but is operated from New Cross. |

Any more routes in North London, they’ve won so much anyway its like theyre taking over. Won the 67, 76, 106, 184, 230 in recent times with Arriva only getting the 191 and W4.
I would of seen the 184 better at Metroline and the 67/106 stay at Arriva.
I hope the 76 does go back to Arriva soon though.
