Has the 27 been cut from Hammersmith Grove? It's been displaying as just 'Hammersmith' for a few weeks now

Has the 27 been cut from Hammersmith Grove? It's been displaying as just 'Hammersmith' for a few weeks now It’s just while the gas works take place on Studland Street. The diversion wouldn’t be worth the 27 going all the way around just to stand.

The 10th new bus entered service on 285 today (now 2037-2046) Now have same quantity as borrowed ADEs (before anyone asks, I don’t know when ADEs will be returned)
Still 7 for 285 (2047-2053) outstanding Also 6 for 270 (2031-2036) outstanding
When these enter service the 11 remaining old E400s 9401-9427 will probably go (and 3 haven’t been used since the new buses entered service), so might be just 8 remaining active

So it seems that a LT can do tight turns around South Norwood (196 terminus) and I even saw a bunch of Abellio drivers there.

The 196 could possibly take LT's, but some cars can be parked around the terminus, and when the LT turns, it might hit one of them or the buses might protrude out of the stand, forcing the 130 to not serve that stop.

Parked cars have caused issues in the past, hopefully it's enough to keep LT's away from the 196.

I've always wondered if there'll be a time when LTs will become less strict with their allocations and go on other routes. I know LTs have been on the 332 but apart from that they don't really stray.

Think the only LT strays are the 238 and 332. I remember a few years ago there was a LT on the 47 also blinded, dont know what happened though.

Hopefully not but never say never. Although if you look at it from another prospective the more LTs spread out the more chance of getting a none LT bus.
