Looking at the list for every other bus and just thinking what a nightmare this really is going to be.
I don't wish to seem negative and understand the needed but at the same time really feel for regular commuters and hope the changes are communicated well.

Looking at the list for every other bus and just thinking what a nightmare this really is going to be. I don't wish to seem negative and understand the needed but at the same time really feel for regular commuters and hope the changes are communicated well. It really is going to be awful, I understand the need to get kids to school fine but it feels like TfL are ignoring the larger population of passengers that rely on these services and are not of school age. What about passengers who may now have to wait for two or three buses to come along before they can get on due to social distancing. At a time when we are being encouraged to go back to work we should be considered a priority as well. Really looking forward to being late to work cos the bus I was expecting is not for me and getting home much later because I have to wait an extra 30 minutes for a bus. It’s ridiculous and negligent to other passengers and will not encourage commuters back to public transport but to their cars instead. |

One can only imagine it will depend on the drivers. I would forsee some disorder at bus stops if bus drivers start restricting adults from the buses. Not well thought out and totally unnecessary in my opinion.
Ironically, this puts pvr back towards what it was before TfL decided to make cuts.
I also think the three extras on the K1 are simply the increased frequency buses.

Well, looking at that list, there will be routes I will now utterly avoid in school peak hours : particularly, but not exclusively, single deck routes running alternate children-only services.

This is an impressively badly worded sentence.
"We ask that schoolchildren travelling without adult's travel on the designated school services where these are provided, in order to help ensure space for customers on other services."

Just travelled London Bridge to Aldwych on SEe9 on 521.
I was the only passenger on board.

Interesting to see how in step with their members unite are on this occasion. My subs are by far my most questionable expense |

Too little too late! Funny how they're only now opposing it after allowing it to happen for years at Go Ahead! Far too late to do anything now. Just another example of how useless Unite is. Also just to add - remote sign on does in fact suit a lot of drivers (and has actually proven quite popular) and I was under the impression that remote sign on rotas have always been on a voluntary basis. |

My subs are by far my most questionable expense Trouble is, remote sign on is been done by many companies in London over 10 years now. Why is Unite so backwards at times, why did they not do anything with the other companies that have done this either, it really does not help their cause imo. Some points I would raise are "There will be no checks to ensure the driver is fit and well to drive a bus" but who checks drivers are fit and well who sign on in the evening or early morning when there are no supervisor staff! "Drivers will be forced to wait for their bus to arrive in all weathers, potentially harming their health and ability to drive a bus over a long shift" but this happens all the time regardless, especially with routes that do not pass the garage. |
