I can see 232 coming back. Still feels weird seeing WS dead runs to St Rapheals I could definitely see the EVs coming free from the 360 being used on the 232 to dump the WS. Is the 232 cleared for 12m buses? 10.8m SEes operate on the route pretty much daily but as far as I know the route has never seen a 12m SEe. I do think Go-Ahead are working towards getting rid of all of their Streetlites (and most likely the Streetdecks on the 44 when that is up for tender later this year too) - they are probably planning for Enviro 200s to be their only diesel single deckers remaining to 2030. |

It’s always tough to wish work away from others : it feels a tad unfair.
Nonetheless, on a personal level, I’d like 229 with Go-Ahead and 269 with Stagecoach. And just to prove I’m not an Arriva hater, I wouldn’t mind seeing the 286 back with them! Ditto the 159 - it doesn’t feel at all right seeing that with Transport UK.

I much preferred the 269 under Stagecoach. It’s frequency being reduced when it went to Arriva didn’t help. I do prefer the 229 under Arriva though, as the driver changes at Bexleyheath Bus Garage used to irritate me if I was already running late though when I needed to commute to Erith back in the mid 2010s. |

The P4 is expected to use WS's (sadly, I was hoping for the 65 reg SE's that were originally rumoured) |

The confirmation in TLB that route P4 will use SEs not WSs is certainly consistent with this. |

I agree with route 269 (an incidentally SL3) should be Stagecoach. As it ventures south of Bexleyheath/Sidcup I agree with it running from TB rather than MG, DT or even PD for that matter. |

133-arriva 45-go ahead 159-arriva 432-go ahead The 133 has only just changed over, why would you want it to go back out of interest? I'm happy the 432 is back where it should be - Go-Ahead did a good job but it's been fine under Arriva too both previously and now and it feels at home at N |
