No tram stops except Wimbledon have barriers. Fare evaders must run riot on the network Thanks for the quick responses by iamalondoner and galwhv69. I was hoping that the Mayor would enhance the hopper fare by extending some routes to allow better travel links across South London between buses and trams. E.g 176 to Beckenham Junction, 3 to Elmer's End or route 47 to Beckenham Junction (probably all fantasy ideas but possible with some Central London changes). However if people are fare evading now, it may just make things worse. Would be good for people to get to zone 1 from other zones for £1.55 and would be a reliable alternative if Thameslink/Overground had any problems. I think the whole intention TfL have is that people don't go from Zone 1 outwards for £1.55

Just a bit of a random question, but how is Arriva pronounced? Is it: Arrive-a (how I was pronouncing it) A-river A-reeve-a Or something along those lines?Also what about RATP? R A T P (separate letters) Rat-pee (how I've been pronouncing it) Or something like that? I know its a bit of an odd question, but I've heard many different pronunciations of those! I used to pronounce Arriva as Arrive-a but have been pronouncing it A-reeve-a for as long as I can remember

RATP is an acronym so it's just pronouncing each letter

I always pronounced it the second way but it's actually the first. (for Abellio)

Can iBus be set in another language? Because DW557 has its main announcement as "Distillya 1 daysh" instead of "121 to"

What happens if a route is won on tender but there is no garage space for it?

I wonder who the bidder was... Go Ahead won it, Stagecoach were incumbent, only leaves Arriva DX as the option. They'd have had space from the 462 loss, but the 368 was won in the same round.

One thing is for sure, the people of Kier Hardie Estate would at least be used to buses running around with blank blinds after all those years of the 541.

Would have been a nightmare especially on the stop that's served by buses going towards Ilford and Canning Town!
