ES155 LY24FXH 7/2024 ES156 LY24FXJ 7/2024 ES157 LY24FXK 7/2024 ES158 LY24FXL -/-- ES159 LY24FXM 7/2024 ES160 LY24FXx -/-- Edit: also 3 registered electroliners without a fleet code LY24JNV 7/2024 LY24JNx -/-- LY24JNZ 7/2024 Joining this up with the regs SILENCED provided a few days ago, we can probably determine that ES153 & ES154 are LY24FXF & LY24FXG respectively - the Governments vehicle finder indicates that LY24FXG is a Wrightbus vehicle so likely ES154 IMO. I'd guess that ES160 will likely be one of LY24FXN or LY24FXO but have nothing tangible beyond that guess. Just to check the lowercase x means unknown, not just a mistake (i.e. should be uppercase X) as I previously presumed?

On the assumption that the 19s will run into SF tonight, it seems the higher numbered LTs at AR are moving to SF with the route.

Just an observation/ query but why do the 38's run so many buses during the daytime? On my journeys from Victoria to Angel there's plenty but they're almost always empty.. I get it during the rush hour but the amounts off peak are inordinate to usage.

Can someone connected to Arriva answer my question about the poor level of service on the 76's to waterloo at the moment? You appear to be a user of the route, so it should be obvious to where the problems are. London Wall and King William St southbound is shut, so excess traffic is diverted over other roads. Farringdon St northbound is also shut, which creates phantom traffic delays within the area for all routes. That is in combination with the strand with never ending roadworks. Upper Thames St and Victoria embankment also has roadworks causing traffic to use the Strand.

A spokesperson for Arriva London Bus said: “Our buses are thoroughly cleaned every night and receive regular deep-cleans. Even without any bugs, the state of that chair says he is lying!

I heard some garages in the Go Ahead side are also like that. Someone I knew that worked for them told me how they didn't clean their buses in the garage and apparently would let the vomit dry out on the seats and sometimes would use the same dirty mop to clean up some mess. When they showed me footage I was in disbelief.

Some of the S reg DLA's at TH had croackroaches in the compartments beneath the longitudinal seating downstairs - I know this as I actually witnessed it myself on the 109 on more than one occasion but then, TH wasn't a great garage back then unlike nowadays.

TH has quite a few rats roaming around the garage and they occasionally pop out to the bins at the bus stop next to it. There has been footage of cockroaches on TUK buses as well so it's probably down to companies having cost-cutting everywhere as TfL want to run the same services for a cheaper price.

Ewwwww. Nah that's actually gross. Considering some of their buses look offside with their lopsided vehicles. How the rear wheels is near touching the body of the bus and they still manage to get away with it amazes me. I've seen some on the 255 and the 250 at times and I know when some of those buses were at other garages they weren't like that before. I do hope the new electrics that come there don't end up like their predecessors.

The ENL's have never really been great regardless of garage IMO

Anyways I'm just glad for ONCE some respect is put on the 255's name 26 years of existence and no new vehicles has been put on that route. That is some record. Hopefully the new buses comes in good timing
