Since there is a Saturday service on TfL Services tommorow, will peak fares still be applicable or will all fares be offpeak?

Did the B16 have DDs during the period of School Extras? DDs have been a common sight on the B16 for quite some time now but they were not used specifically for school extras. From September 2020 to December 2020, SEN45* was allocated to the VB16 and the VB11 had SE92. Between January 2021 and July 2021, the VB11 and VB16 used E200 MMCs from Ensignbus. * SEN45 and the rest of the ex C10 buses could not be used for school extras after December because they were needed for the 469 and B12 from 23rd of January, other buses in the fleet were used instead. Additionally, Ensignbus covered some of the RR school routes.

I remember years ago when routes like the 92, 207, E7 and etc had special New Years only night services that run though the night how it doesn’t happen anymore?

There were NYE night services this year so I guess TfL chose what routes to have them and those weren't picked Which ones were picked? There was a thread about it: Friday night timetable will run on the night bus network with extra buses provided all night on routes 35, 108, 159, 188, 238, N2, N3, N25, N26, N29, N86, N109, N133, N250 and N279. Additionally buses will run all night long on routes 40, 45, 118, 123, 132, 154, 158, 161, 174, 183, 236, 248, 274, 319, 333, 355, 388, 407, 415, 422, 432, 486 and W3 with some extra journeys until around 0100 on routes 30, 31, 46 and C11.

Just a general question here:
Why was the Wells Terrace entrance to Finsbury Park Station closed? From recent experiences going to Finsbury Park Station and getting of a 210/W3/W7, I must say I do miss there being an entrance you can just walk through from the bus stands, though its only 170 or so yards I definitely do not like walking down Stroud Green Road underneath a bridge that stinks of pee and definitely pre COVID that stretch of road had a homeless problem (not that they are at fault, they are struggling).

I think ticket barriers couldn't be installed there.

Was it not to do with redevelopment plans of the surrounding area where there has been another new exit created. I agree it was better next to the bus station itself. On Stroud Green Rd it never used to stink of pee there. That started to happen around 2015 when beggars then homeless people started hanging around the area then under the bridge. Some of them sadly were hard drug users and were victims to dealers.

I remember one time I saw needles on the ground there, that certainly has put me off going through there unless necessary and had I stepped on one, well I think I'd be too scared to go under that bridge again.
Having said that I don't also like waiting at Stops R/S as well at night, that's also very eerie.

Yes, most of the V MOA reg Plaxton President B7TL's for Travel West Midlands were delivered in 1999 (4023-4082/4084-4087/4089-4090/4092-4102/4104 were delivered from September to December 1999, V MOA 4083/4088/4091 & 4103 came in 2000) and AVL1 for London Central was December 1999. Not UK but Dublin Bus received one B7TL President VP1 for trial in October 1999 which was 99-D-76023 and re-registered X157JOP at Volvo in September 2000 and ended up on trial with Midland Bluebird before find it's way to London Easylink & then Sullivan Buses
