Wonder if there were/are plans to use the Beddington outstation to run services? Listed as an operating centre on the gov.uk website It may play a part in Arriva's plans when the 202 and 405 move over in August/September. Arriva mainly opened it to bid for work in the Sutton area though, suppose they could potentially win and operate the S4 from there? |

I definetly think the 463 will come over to the Croydon area this time, Arriva, Abellio or Go Ahead.

Or 463 (and 455 but unsure when that's up for tender) The 463 goes directly past the Beddington Farm Road outstation so that’s also an option. The 455 is up for renewal in 2022 but I think Metrobus will get a two year extension, I may be biased here but it must be said performance on the 455, despite its challenges has been much better than it was under Abellio and Croydon is an ideal base for it since it stops directly outside the garage! |

Probably due to the 157 running to a Sunday timetable all week But you never normally get any N bus on the route on a Sunday .... you did today ... so not a normal Sunday timetable Could be that it's got the early morning enhancements on a daily basis for the time being |

They'll reconsider or whoever posted this on social media will end up in a lot of trouble. The guy who's posted it is a union rep at another operator. Probably done that way purposely as to avoid the person who's taken a photo being disciplined |
