Most of the LX11 enviro's at RM are just dying I do think the Scania's should've been kept for the 252/365 contracts as they were in way better shape and were part of the contract for those routes. Many of the Scania's on the 252 and 3675 were clapped out before they went a few years ago. The E400's may not be cracking, but are in a better shape imo. Just the interior grabrails a lot of them have shelled off badly, mainly the staircase and upperdeck, I am not sure if it was a combination of wear and chemicals from during covid sprayed on the rails to disinfect them in the evening.

EH244 with top front window mashed up with the body frame ripped on the right side. Seen it at Paddington by the A40

Compared to the DW's and the occasional Enviros on the 175 that DX puts on the route, RM's enviros are slow and rattle so much i wonder if the bus is going to make it to the terminus (if they don't cut back the 365 to some stupid stop halfway to the actual terminus)

One I went on yesterday on the 252 the window filler strip rubber was halfway pulled out and dangling. Other than that, just the usual handrails rusted, I cannot work out why it seems this batch at [RM] is like this.

They aren't the slowest (they are still pretty slow) I've seen but some of them just need to be withdrawn. The contrast from RM's Enviros to the DW's/Enviros at GY DX or NS (MMC's and LX12's the sole SN11 and SL14) is always incredible to me

This is where you are wrong. Arriva as well as Go Ahead perform well on bus services the tables show this. I do agree bodywork on some buses does need a touch up but it is not to an extent where you say it is very poor looking. I could go on about other companies but no point. If there was no service on the 38 route then that is questionable and not a joke, NO operator would allow no service on any route the fines would be shocking. Just because it is who I am employed by does not mean I agree with everything. I could say the same for you about Stagecoach whenever anyone says anything against them you have nothing to say… There has been lots of staff cuts at TL and funny enough no one mentioned. Last Saturday I waited 30 mins for a 54 and two turned up. Overall they need to control there routes properly… on a regular I see 75s running in pairs very late at night… I don't believe I mentioned that Stagecoach are perfect at any point. I've seen the issues the 86s buses have, but you really can't compare a few odd Stagecoach buses which have issues to an entire garage's fleet of buses that have issues. Arriva London North are not performing well on the league tables. Arriva London South are, but that is not who I am talking about. Both of Stagecoach's divisions north of the river and both of GAL's (including General) are performing better than Arriva are, so you should probably check your facts before making such statements. I can go and post every single Arriva route graph in East London on here, and you can see the 150 is the only route which isn't having any issues with poor performance. Arriva London North just aren't slightly behind either, it's a gap of 0.13 to Lea Interchange. I hope you notice now that that short blip Stagecoach had after taking on CT Plus and Tower Transit had initially pushed them up the tables. Now they are back where they usually have been over the past few years at the bottom or just below average. tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/bus-operator-league-tables

It looks quite different from the one on the TfL website. content.tfl.gov.uk/2023-24-q4-ewt-day.xlsx

omg, wow. I managed to somehow have the two files merged into one. I would delete and edit it. Seems to have happened trying to upload long gaps in service and ewt together

Well I'm sure once you ditch the idea of serving your paying passengers and also running half of your routes because there's traffic your figures change. That is what Stagecoach seems to be doing, hence why they are doing badly in the long gaps in service. That shows the REAL gaps of people being abandoned.

Barely much worse, Arriva on 0.7 and Stagecoach on 0.9. Ignoring the fact that Arriva seems to be on there twice.

Also put below for your eyes only. Enjoy it Every inch counts, lol

But as you realise most of North London is a poo storm for roadworks and has been still since these results. East London should have performed better. All operators are now facing stiff measures from TfL due to contract compliance fines from auditors for incorrect mileage coding and operating practices. So sending all your buses through and now regulating them i.e. route 174 is now going to play into TfL's hands well and uncle Khan is going to be rubbing his hands with glee with that trademark smirk on his face.
