Myself included especially the new RATP Dev with their ugly interiors When’s the last time Metroline changed theirs. Stuck in a time warp if you ask me and some of those recent paint jobs on the DELs are horrendous. I will not lie, Metroline's repaints are disgusting, but service goes over appearance for me. A trivial negative will not dent my opinion on a company that much though so I still love Metroline. |

No, they're all bad - Cameron started the nonsense off by introducing austerity, May was probably the least worst out of the last 4 but was seriously out of her depth, Johnson made error after error be it particularly around all things Covid (credit for vaccines goes to the scientists not him) & Truss has managed to crash the economy in juts a few weeks of getting the jobs. Brexit has nothing to do with Truss being in power - she voted Remain but he has since done her usual party trick of changing her mind when it suits her and now says she'd of voted Leave instead. Brexit did result in two changes of PM though, which I feel that has it not been for Brexit, David Cameron might still be PM or he would have handed it over to someone else. Yes, prior to the 2015 General Election he had pledged to stand down towards the end of the 2nd term. So, probably in 2019. |

Not a RATP London United fan I take it? I don't think many people are Except that the RATP thread seems to fill up more quickly than the other operator threads. Mind you, even before having read the operator threads today, use of the Stagecoach thread seems to have accelerated lately - possibly due to the takeover of Tower Transit (LI) and HCT London. |

Government back to Boris Johnson - whoops, wrong thread  67 back to Stagecoach, 20 back to Arriva  Think Dalston is the only place on the 67 to have a Stagecoach route. Though North London doesn't have many Stagecoach routes with the exception of inner North London. Even then the merger with Hct and Tower Transit hasn't affected any of the routes in proper North London like Wood Green and Enfield |

Definitely (and all the other previously) nearly every route RATP won off Metroline they made an absolute pigs ear of. RATP do have a nicer design of vehicles though but service is much more important. On another note I’m definitely on team Go-Ahead for retaining the 131. The only thing I loved about RATP on it were the tridents and they won’t be coming back. |

Arriva are also losing a lot to Go Ahead |

I'll make a larger post on this thread now I've rediscovered it: 13, 79, 105, 117, 125, 223 (oh well it's coming back anyway  ), 224, 235, 258 (First Centrewest is now Metroline West), 266, 395, E1, E3 H12, H14, N5, and X140 all back home to Metroline, I hate RATP's appalling service on these routes. I will also include the likes of 195, E5, E7, E10, and E11 from Abellio as I lived my childhood with them being operated by Centrewst/Metroline West. 49 and 452 back to Abellio, RATP run them horribly 69 back to Stagecoach Might add more later on |
