It was reduced to a Sunday service from 30 March, but every day since then, including Sundays, 3 N vehicles have appeared alongside TH Ts. Today is the first time since 30 March it has wholly been operated by TH vehicles. As the Pandemic figures now seem to be decreasing I wonder if more drivers are now starting to return to work, allowing a full TH service without needing any spares from N. Thought the drivers were TH drivers and remained the same during the week, just where the vehicles was based changed during the week. |

I imagine recently on the Sunday timetable any N buses that have turned up on the route would have been staffed by N drivers, TH probably have enough spare buses to fully operate the 157 - as seems to be the case today so I imagine it would be unlikely for TH drivers to go to N to pick up a bus when they have some free in their own garage. |

[b None of the Norwood drivers are route learned on the 157. Just Thornton Heath ones. It's a Thornton Heath route, if any Norwood buses are used, which they are being as supplementary peak extras to the core Sunday service - it will be a Thornton Heath driver as normal |

It looks as though Arriva are temporarily withdrawing the majority of the 466's T's, only six of them are in service today.

Just looking at LVF and noticed routes 150,173 and 368 are 100 % T and the 175 is 100% DW. Never seen such a strict allocation at DX - Wonder if some buses have been stood down temporarily.

That's probably a first for DX since the days of the LJ03 VLWs on their strict 275 allocation  Of course, towards the end the 128 VLAs and LJ08 Ts made cameo appearances.... |

Not this morning is not 100% T on the 368 😂 One of the DW is on the 368 according to LVF. |
