Can anyone correct me for Easter service on buses. Good Friday - Saturday service Saturday - normal service Easter Sunday - Normal service Easter Monday - Sunday Service I don't know about the night Service?
On the assumption you're talking about London, then yes, that's the general plan (TFL page here)
Subject to the disclaimer that I'm not involved any more, but the usual standard is that Good Friday will be a Saturday day then Saturday night schedule, Saturday and Sunday will be normal Saturday / Sunday day and night schedule, Easter Monday will be Sunday day and largely Sunday night schedule. (If you're planning to travel, and there's a few minutes difference in the scheduled times for a Sunday night and a Monday night, then I'd play safe and expect the bus at whichever is the earlier of the two times!)
There will be a few night / 24 hour routes where there are amended duty schedules / bus workings, where there are scheduled night buses / duties that start the following morning's day service, or day buses / duties that start with journey/s on the previous day's night route. (Operators' schedules day almost invariably runs the night service as the end of the previous 'day' not the start of the next one, although TFL's contracts start with the Friday night 'night route', which is complicated when there's a new contract / operator.)
The regular Saturday night schedule would lead in to a Sunday schedule, and a regular Sunday night schedule would lead in to a Monday schedule, but at Easter weekend, there's 2 consecutive Saturdays and 2 consecutive Sundays. But the passengers should not notice the difference, and in theory it all should get loaded to i-bus in plenty of time for Real Time to show correctly.
If you are talking outside London, it depends. Easter Monday is treated as a Sunday service by most operators, and the Saturday and Sunday usually run as normal Saturday then Sunday service (although I've known a few operators who reduce services on Easter Sunday as most of the shops are shut.)
Good Friday is more variable outside London - some operators run weekday (school holiday) service, some run Saturday and others run Sunday service. One or two do a Sunday daytime service but with enhanced evening service...

Thank you in advance I've snapped on the eastern side of the one way system before, both at High Street, Marshalls Road & Manor Place stops. I've also snapped at Sutton Green previously as well

Thank you in advance The Manor Place stop on Throwley Way is usually good for the sun and pretty much everything stops there apart from the 154 and X26.

Is Chelsea and Fulham West or South or Central London? West Fulham is actually in South West London, good way to check is that both Stamford Bridge and Craven Cottage have SW postcodes.

It’s an interesting one though because as a borough H&F straddles across W, NW and SW postcodes. So whilst Fulham Broadway might sit in South West London it really only just sides in SW London. I’d argue that it could be considered West London if you ignore the irrelevant postcode zones.

I'd say that postcodes aren't really reliable as there's no S of course so you can't exactly say that something is Southwest or Southeast from just the postcode

Here’s an article below that explains why, long story short both existed in the 1800s but were merged with other postcodes and reassigned to Newcastle and Sheffield. londonist.com/2015/08/why-is-there-no-ne-or-s-london-postcode-district

I'd say that postcodes aren't really reliable as there's no S of course so you can't exactly say that something is Southwest or Southeast from just the postcode I've always wanted to know why there isn't an S? There was originally. London was divided into ten postal districts in 1857, but S was abolished as far back as 1867, with the area being divided up between between the SE and SW sectors. NE was also abolished. Numbered sub-divisions (e.g. N1, NW10) were added from 1917 as a wartime efficiency measure. Liverpool and Manchester/Salford were also divided into postal districts during the 1860s, and Glasgow in 1923. In 1934 ten areas were given numbered postal districts (e.g. Liverpool 8, Birmingham 19) and the public was strongly encouraged to use these numbers when addressing letters. The areas were: Birmingham, Brighton & Hove, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds & Bradford, Liverpool, Manchester & Salford, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Sheffield. These numbers can still be seen on older street signs in some of these areas. Interestingly Croydon was used as an early experiment in automated sorting by postcode, with postcodes being introduced to the area in May 1967. Croydon postcodes began with the three letters CRO, whilst the surrounding post towns were coded CR2 (South Croydon), CR3 (Caterham/Whyteleafe) and CR4 (Mitcham). The second part of the postcode, the inward code, adopted the system we recognise today with a single-digit number and two letters (e.g. 1FT). This system was very close to the postcode format that was eventually rolled out nationwide, the only adaptation was that the CRO postcode was changed to CR0 (CR and single-digit zero) in 1974 to avoid the need to create a new CR1 district - this of course meant no change for most people in the way they hand-wrote the postcode. Postcodes were rolled out nationally from 1971 when households began receiving notifications of their new postcodes, and the process was completed by 1974. The non-London postal districts that were incorporated into Greater London in 1965 retained their own identities, and had codes based on the main post town (e.g. HA for Harrow, BR for Bromley) rather than becoming additional London postal districts.
