I can guess that particular spooky scene. It was a good while before i realised Larry Lamb was in Superman III, similarly with Jim Broadbent (Only Fool's Roy Slater) who appeared just as briefly in Superman IV Indeed Jim Broadbent was the nuclear arms dealer.

Meanwhile....the first bus they put out on the 465 didn't even have blinds and had a barely readable scrap of paper with hand written 465 on it!! We all know what normally follows ‘rapidly’…..

Surprised anything is moving - TUK should have enough spare LTs already to cover the 211, though maybe some extra spares are needed to cover any VOR LTs? I guess LT461-3 are no longer needed at RATP, but they could have gone to Metroline to fully convert the 17? The 415 yesterday had two or three E40Hs on route, suggesting a shortage of serviceable LTs at the time. We'll see how allocation's handled from tomorrow with the weekday pvr If my numbers are right, there was only 13 LT's available on Saturday to the 211 and I believe one was missing or VOR so may only be 12 so I'm not surprised they used non LT's on the 415 as you mention.

So let’s see I guess the 211 is using the LTs that where on the 133 and 133 are using majority of its and 381’s Electroliners am I right?

Can only really tell after peak run out tomorrow There is enough Electroliners currently at QB for the 133 to have a full run out and even then, QB also has a sizeable fleet of older 61 reg hybrids essentially covering as well. The biggest question really is whether the 211 is using the older 100 series LT's or the spare 600 series LT's alongside the couple transferring in from RATP.

Seen the new Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 blind on a 490 which leads me to believe that other buses at TF have been blinded for the 465.

Not condoning the lack of blinds but south of Chessington World of Adventures really nobody will be confused...! This is one for "Trivial but Unique" but south of aforementioned stop there are 30 consecutive stops served solely by one TfL route - is there a route with more...??

I thought you had a typo as when I did 465 end to end (and obviously back up from Dorking), it felt relatively quick and I would not have said it was 30 stops each from Chessington, but wow, it is.

I think the 403 could compete with that, not sure of the exact number but it’s a complete lone wolf after the first few stops in Croydon EDIT : the 403 only has 20, but 40 if you consider it has to do another 20 stops back the other way before it meets another bus route 😂

There’s a video on Tik Tok of an aftermath of a car crashing into an Enviro 400 MMC. That pleasant individual that is Laurence Fox was of the drunken occupant of that car. He was the one that was filming the aftermath.
