Saw one of them doing pushups in the wheelchair area, I was so confused! I also heard someone got PUNCHED randomly by an enthusiast. I don't even want to think how the routes will operate tomorrow, especially the W12 and W13. What I'm more concerned about is how the W12 will operate with the new E100 EVs, with enthusiasts potentially taking up the entire bus, but it won't last like that for long when it does happen ! Quite honestly goodness knows what’s going to happen at TB open day now. I have to say the behaviour is getting worse, could they all not just sit down and do the journey without any noise in fact do so many people need to do the last bus? At one point no one cared and now all of a sudden 30 people get on the last bus. I wonder how many people will crowd over the new ADL.

There are some videos online of some rather shocking behaviour of enthusiasts on the 549 this evening! These youngsters need to understand they are using a bus that’s in service and not a party bus for their personal enjoyment. I dead to think what tomorrow will be like! I always try and avoid this younger enthusiast nonsense by going a few days early/afterwards and occasionally doing things during school days. I had a lovely 549 send off with a bus to myself a few days ago If I’m on the 196 or SL6 on the first day and it is running with EVs I don’t want to see any of that… That video looks like going to McDonalds on a bus and I have not eaten from that place in 10 years… When I did the 335 on the first day I saw a few but that is a Army of madness…

When the 414 is withdrawn is going to be interesting a ADH full up with them when the Route will exist as the 14 tomorrow and the same with the 45 & 118…

When I did the first day of the 301 and 335 five years ago, I've simply just hopped on the train to cross the Thames and did a round trip on both of those routes, all is well and I've had a full peace to myself for the entire time, which is now very difficult to do on first days etc...

I was on the 5pm departure from South Woodford and was quite surprised by the behaviour. As a regular user of the 549 I've never seen it that busy (not even when the Central line was suspended). The loadings are normally around 2-5 people from the older age bracket so it was definitely a change having a bus packed of young enthusiasts. First few days of Enviro 100 EV conversion for the W12 will be interesting I think

Is there any video evidence regarding the enthusiast punching someone? Although people don’t have any respect these days! The young enthusiast community is actually being very disrespectful! Tbh idk how parents even allow them out of their area at that age! It’s like they don’t know how to use a bus properly, there’s other passengers just trying to do their own thing but they are having to come on the bus and hear enthusiasts fighting! Not good enough! I didn’t do the 549 last day but coming to hear this was actually awful! Idk how the first day will be tbh if the last day of 549 was a huge fight!

Just forget doing any route on the first day now because peace will not exist. The 335 was definitely the last peaceful route introduction. The future is war for the front seat and like you said Geoff Marshall style videos…

I wouldn’t be surprised if a fight happened, there was one a PD open day!

The final diesel buses in service will be a war ! 💀 Agree on that and as much as I am pro Diesel, certainly will NOT be riding the last one cos of the agro from these spoilt... Seems to me that discipline has gone down the loo. I personally used to fear of my family elders & even would respect my school teachers in the same level.

The route runs until 2am daily, that would be so irresponsible of their parents to allow their child to do something like that.

I don’t think we should tar the entire young enthusiast community with the same brush because some idiots on the 549 can’t behave. The majority of young enthusiasts behave themselves from what I see on my regular trips to running days It should also be noted some of the older enthusiasts don’t behave themselves either and they really should know better so it’s not exclusive to younger people.
