At the moment HV281-283 only have Routes 2 & 249 on the program and has annoyingly been changed from West Norwood to Norwood for Route 2. Extremely vague…

Extremely vague… Ahh, I was wondering why they hadn’t done the 432 or 468 yet. Them not having at least the other routes at N is foolish, especially when they have LEDs. Having ‘2 to Norwood’ is a very very stupid destination too— should be ‘West Norwood’ or ‘West Norwood, Bus Garage’

I agree Norwood can actually mean Norwood Junction or anywhere in Norwood covering the various post codes. “West Norwood” is fine.

Having ‘2 to Norwood’ is a very very stupid destination too— should be ‘West Norwood’ or ‘West Norwood, Bus Garage’ “Norwood” is terrible to use as a blind because of how vast the areas with Norwood in their name are due to it covering the old North Wood which is where the name Norwood came from. I’ve never liked the “West Norwood” blind either but it’s certainly better. I don’t like West Norwood, Bus Garage because usually, bus garage as a qualifier tends to have the garage name included - I’d much prefer Norwood Bus Garage (no qualifier) or a return to the old blind buses used to show which was simply Norwood Garage. No one refers to N as West Norwood Garage, locally it’s always been known as Norwood Garage despite there being no such in the area as Norwood apart from the main road

It’s like how buses terminating at TL or E don’t just simply Catford Bus Garage or Enfield Bus Garage

It’s like how buses terminating at TL or E don’t just simply Catford Bus Garage or Enfield Bus Garage West Norwood is fine even though it is one stop after West Norwood Station it is the best description of the area. The Garage is known as Norwood, Bus Garage to the unknown could be anywhere in Norwood covering the 3 post codes. Whenever I do Route 2 no one ever asks “where do you go in West Norwood” but “Do you go to Tulse Hill Station” is more common. On Route 468 it is very common for passengers to ask do you go to West Norwood or do you go to Norwood Junction. In addition I’m glad Upper Norwood is only a turning point because it’s in the middle of nowhere.

It’s like how buses terminating at TL or E don’t just simply Catford Bus Garage or Enfield Bus Garage Catford Bus Garage isn't in Catford, hence why the Bellingham destination was added and rightly so but buses did actually show just Catford Bus Garage before - same as Enfield Bus Garage isn't in Enfield, it's in Ponders End so both are in completely separate areas (another similar example is Brixton Garage not being in Brixton or even Brixton Hill hence why Streatham Hill, Telford Avenue is shown instead). That isn't the same as Norwood Garage which is not in a completely separate area, just the area has a slightly different name. Not everyone is local as you say but even then, I've never heard non locals call it West Norwood Garage either - Norwood Bus Garage is my preferred destination, is a known landmark & destination by locals and by non locals, something very easy to look up or reference.

ES142, 144 & 148 are at N Maybe they’re planning on ordering more ESs for the 196 and SL6 as well as routes 34, 41, 141 and SL1?

Why are they at N? Are they there to train drivers for the 196 and SL6 already?

Why are they at N? Are they there to train drivers for the 196 and SL6 already? Theyre just being stored there as TH doesn’t have the space to store them until the routes are ready for electrification

Not being funny to anyone curious but it was only announced on Friday the 196 & SL6. A number of ESs have been stored at N for a while now because there is space to store them. Not being harsh to anyone please think before asking questions. I could have added this to my post but it is quite obvious they are not here for anything to do with the announcement on Friday. ES85-160 are for TH
