E154 on the 44!!! No blinds at all and the paper in the front window has the text printed small and out of the way so people are getting confused Saw EH289 and WHV92 earlier using the N44 blinds

Lots of 372’s turning at Aveley last night (Presumably this was down to QE2 Bridge closure and resulting traffic)

15102 on the 330 12421 spending most of the day on the 97 11020 on the 474 broken down near Rathbone Marker in Canning Town
Police cordon in place at Hermit Road. It had to happen in the past few minutes as the 69 still was on LoR on Barking Road
And getting annoyed with the stealth frequency cuts. TfL didn't mention that the evening frequency of the D7 was going down to every 15 mins. Another stealth cut was September 30th when the N1 went to 2bph on weekends, something not mentioned in the consultation.

And that’s how people make the shift to cars While late evening / night frequencies are ok / a touch generous in some cases, the early evening frequencies drop off too quickly. Buses ramp down to 12-15-20 min far too early in the day. For example can’t understand the logic of having the jubilee every 3 min at say 7pm while the 132 is every 12 min after 6pm and the 335 every 15 min post 6pm. All it takes is for one bus to get turned (which is quite usual on the 132) and it becomes a nightmare; have suffered too long in recent times!

When Hermit Road is closed the 69 usually runs Barking Road, Balaam Street then line of route from Plaistow Station.

Positive or negative change, it still has to be communicated to the public (RIP Tube lines' Twitter feeds), especially when pertaining to traveling at late night/early morning. The rest is all operational really; if buses are on time and not sardine packed, it'll coax the leisurely passenger onto relying on the bus network more. It's 2024, managed decline in the bus network should be over and now should be the time where investment surpasses 2016 levels. That's what the board papers said at the time would happen...

That is how many people get sucked into Uber and they tend not to bother going back to the bus after that.

That is how many people get sucked into Uber and they tend not to bother going back to the bus after that. Never used Uber but not sure how they can compete in terms of cost? I assume they work out more expensive especially compared to a single bus fare? I know there is the convenience factor but still.
