Tower Transit they are trash Whilst I agree with the OP about Tower Transit (wouldn't go as far as calling them 'trash', but at the same time I don't like them), I think he should have at least given some valid reason, like I think the interiors aren't appealing, and the fact that there are too many tower transit routes (and RATP) operating in West london, which is sad because West London used to be dominating West London, and now it's losing its grip mostly to RATP What on earth? Not only have you relied to a old post but I am sure you are well aware Tower Transit are long gone after the sale to RAPT and Stagecoach. I have to shake my head sometimes.

I am aware of TT disappearing, but I still like to express my dislike towards them

Abellio/Transport UK. Nearly everything about them is just terrible. They have certainly turned some of their depots around for the better (WL for example which took eight routes lost to GAL for that to happen) but the operation of many of their routes across the board leave a lot to be desired.
Like they've always done, they cheaply bid for routes left, right and centre without any sort of strategy in place of how to run them reliably when the time comes and to the point of overstretching themselves eventually (63, 111). There's a lot more focus on Arriva, RATP and Sullivan for their faults and quality fall-off understandably, but less so on this cowboy operator known as Abellio/TUK.

Arriva and TUK both have the weird garage problem. I think it's in TUK's blood given that its two predecessors ran the 129 and 188 of all routes, and Arriva runs routes 301 and 335 from Dartford... would not want to be a 335 driver, also because the route is generally boring, and it runs terrible buses.

The stuff on the 335 is a lot better than the crap that was put out on the 129, 132, 486 of recent, even up to last year many looking battered and through the trenches.
