It makes sense when the road is clear of traffic because it’s so wide, Ive seen drivers choose to go around the backstreets around SW if necessary. Isn't that the official routing since they removed the one way junction Yeah, after alighting, buses should run via Binfield Road, Lansdowne Way, South Lambeth Road back onto Clapham Road. Obviously, in the past, they would simply use the one way system which was quicker than it is now. Personally, I've always felt that the 50 should at least alight and stand at the Stockwell Bus Garage stop with the 196 & P5 stopping around the corner on Lansdowne Way where the old Binfield Road Stop Z is on Google Maps. First stop on the 50 can then be on South Lambeth Road and would remove, most, if not all instances of drivers U-turning and benefit even a small amount of passengers. The only route that benefited from the removal of the one way system was the 345 which now turns right directly from Clapham Road into Stockwell Road whereas before, it too would run around the one way system

Looks great! Can't wait to see them all on Saturday Agreed, but I do wish they’d have removed the advert frames - it looks messy with them still affixed.

Driving past the Beddington outstation today and seems like a lot of the 157 Ts are now parked up there.

Nice. Ima try get a ride this Saturday after work. Trouble is that the Billet traffic would be a problem and the Hall lane/Cooks Ferry traffic is a joke

Why dose HA11 have the 0 in the fleet number? Down to internal system we use for buses. It should not be applied to vehicles, second instance of this been done at [EC]

Out of curiosity, why does the SL1 need 15 buses for a PVR of 11? Surely 12 or 13 would be enough, and would allow as many as possible to be spare Should be 2% spares, yes higher than normal, but this is what was initially earmarked, I do not believe all spares would be wrapped.

Do they think punters may mistake HA9 for a Wembley postcode?

Interesting, seems to differ operator to operator. RATP have wrapped all the SL9 ones whilst I believe the SL10 vehicles will all be wrapped in due course. SL6 & 7 under Go-Ahead are all wrapped whilst I believe one of the SL8 vehicles under Metroline isn't wrapped

I’d love to see the spare City buses stray on the 141
