I’ve seen that happen years ago. Some drivers can’t be asked to go through the junction Probably to save time as well You're bang on there, it can save about 2 mins and they dont miss any stops in the process. You'll probably be seeing 144's doing it a bit more often since we've been banned from telling buses to run out of service via Westbury avenue, which I'll add is an absolute life saver when there's delays at Turnpike lane in the evening

I realised later that that’s not usual LOR

This question might’ve been asked before but here goes.
Will the 405 ever become a 24 hour service??

This question might’ve been asked before but here goes. Will the 405 ever become a 24 hour service?? Very highly unlikely. The London section as far as Coulsdon south has the N68 and Denning Avenue has the (N)119.

I spotted it at St James Street around 15:30. Being nosy I did call the bus and ask them what they were up to, they did say it was Route Learning for the SL2. Not sure why they were up at St James Street though, I dont think they can fit anymore buses up there unless they will stand on South Grove?

I see a post here a few days ago with the schedule and it showed buses using the South Grove stand then picking up at Walthamstow Central.

Superloop branding has been removed off ENX16 and the blinds have been taken out. ENX28 looks like it has had new blinds put in, is there a link 🤔

St James is always packed since 34 moved in. In fact seen buses parked at the final stop waiting for someone to move off. Something has to use South Grove. Although, I do love chaos.

The route is going to St. James St For the Superloop route SL2 Buses leave both points Walthamstow Central [DX1] and North Woolwich [DX10] at dead on 5am. There is one spreadover bus also. Many of the buses are awaiting wrap and now parked up at [DX]. One bus is evening peak only. Typical jounrey times, early morning is 42 mins to North Woolwich and 51 minutes in the revere back to Walthamstow Central. AM peak is 1 hour 13 mins towards North Woolwich, 1 hour 19 mins towards Walthamstow Central WALTHAMSTOW,SOUTH GROVE STAND - WALTHAMSTOW CENTRAL STATION - WOOD STREET LIBRARY - HIGH ROAD, SOUTH WOODFORD - RODING LANE NORTH, WOODFORD AVENUE - GANTS HILL STATION - ILFORD STATION - ILFORD BROADWAY (CHAPEL ROAD) - BARKING STATION - UEL DOCKLANDS CAMPUS - NORTH WOOLWICH,FREE FERRY - NORTH WOOLWICH,FREE FERRY STAND ROUTE SL2 SATURDAY 2-3-2024REASON FOR CHANGE - NEW SERVICEALLOCATION - BARKING [DX] 16 BUSES ROUTE SL2 SUNDAY 3-3-2024ALLOCATION - BARKING [DX] 12 BUSES ROUTE SL2 MONDAY TO FRIDAY 4-3-2024ALLOCATION - BARKING [DX] 16 BUSES

Noticing that WN are using buses not blinded for 329 on the route with the usual paper 329 in the window. Saw an HV on it yesterday
