I see DE20004 / 5 / 7 were operating on the 265 this AM as far as Putney Bridge ............... do they start at PB in the PM reverse direction too ? Might try for a shot of each this PM if so .................. So is the V265 operated by RATP - TV, Metroline - PB or Go-Ahead - PM? Or is it a totally different operator. New Malden 26/05/21 - poor photo - I also missed 4 & 5 that afternoon ........... was a frustrating traffic / shadow blighted trip out 😒 Sorry PB is "myspeak" for Putney Bridge - not the Garage code, AM / PM - before noon / afternoon - sorry for the confusion.

Have to admit I read PB as Potters Bar at first. I was thinking that's one hell of a dead run
Then again PB (the garage) have actually run night buses all the way to Kingston in the past, so maybe not quite as far-fetched as that...

No capacity restriction signs... They never really meant anything. I use buses every week and have only once encountered a driver who strictly enforced the 14 capacity limit. Also, seats near the driver can be used. Happy to say I haven't been on an LT this pandemic so wouldn't know about backward facing seats. Obviously not been on any SP’s either then

Busy week ..............
Another successful crack at SP40001-SP40008 in the environs of Uxbridge County Court on Weds ....... DE20004 / 5 / 7 at the Tolworth Terminus Stand yesterday AM and a rewarding 90 minutes in the rain (makes the buses nice and shiny though) at Beckton Bus Station this AM with the V300 & V376 offering up 5 SE's below 30 including SE1 at last 👍 - the only downside being spotted by a co-worker and having to come clean about being interested in large red objects ............ 🤦♂️

SEN38 is ex-RATP and is most likely going to be withdrawn after school extras end. OS68 of Metroline is in process of being withdrawn. All of RATP non-Euro VI buses are exclusively school extras hence soon withdrawn when they end.
Abellio 8108 is already withdrawn with another company, 8118-8121 (which were on loan to RATP for extended period) are untaxed hence unlikely to survive and earmarked for withdrawl. 9441 is in active service however I would expect for this to be withdrawn by the end of the year due to Abellio's soon coming swaths of withdrawls of vehicles of its type.
Not sure about the HCT and Stagecoach situation.

Noticed the afternoon V434 journey didn’t run today. Wonder if this has now been cut or was it simply cancelled by Abellio today because they were short on buses? Only reason why I think it may be the latter is that both 8326 and 8328 were pulled from service on the S4 this morning according to LVF, and 8344 which was used on the 434 this morning went onto the S4 to sub one of the two.

SEN38 moved over from London United in 2014 so it was not exclusively brought over for school extras should get rid of it as quickly as possible now, it's in a horrendous state!

How is OS68 currently being withdrawn if it's still running daily? It got refurbished, and was in use before Covid school extras so unless the H2/H3/631 PVR has decreased at some point, something should replace it if it's not kept?
