well i got on a beckton train at poplar at 8.00 and we went all the way and back as for the replacement bus they could have run buses but why only two ;D I doubt it because i was at Canning Town at 08:30 and got to Cyprus at 09:15 where i saw the train in the station, not moving, doors not open. Besides, i doubt a train load of uni students on a bus could all be wrong. My mate was later than me too, she got in about quarter past 10 well thats debateable i could have been the last train through ;D |

Do any other or will any other operators work with London Central and Metrobus over May over these routes or will it just be Go-ahead buses?

The Lewisham to Dartford will probably be just BX. The London Bridge to West Croydon will probably see SW out with the BX boys. The Barking to Upminster I presume Blue Triangle help out on these, however cannot say 100% as I have never done them (although I remember Egg mentioning Arriva helped out previously) Unfortuantly I'm on nights (N89) the whole weekend so no extra money for me  |

Barking to Upminister is Blue Triangle mainly other garages help us out. I'll be out on a 4 hour spread on Sat and a 5 hour spread on Sun i wanted Monday as well but bloody allocated holiday lol. The Lewisham to Dartford will probably be just BX. The London Bridge to West Croydon will probably see SW out with the BX boys.

Saturday, London Bridge to West Croydon is a big one, with buses scheduled every 10 mins or so. BX Have 11 duties on this service, no doubt that SW, Q and NX/PM will also be supplying buses. Metrobus croydon also help out on this one so i would'nt rule them out either! Last time i worked this one we had buses from BX, SW, Q , NX, PM, A and Metrobus C & MB working the service.
BX also have Barking - Upminster on Saturday (and Monday as i preiously stated) with 8 duties. Chaz is right, LUL BK-UPMR is a Blue Triangle contract which LG took on when they bought BT. BX Just help out by providing buses and drivers to cover the excess work.
Sunday's Lewisham to Dartford would may just be BX as we have 11 duties, but i woul'dnt rule out NX or PM as they've helped out on this one in the past.
God knows where BX are going to get the buses to run these services from on saturday (19 duties in total), as we have merely anought PVL's to sustain a full saturday PVR on the TFL routes. I can only assume the NV's and the 3 or so convertable trainers (with raised seats removed) will be out. I also suspect some buses made spare from Q's loss of the 35 and 40 will move to BX overnight to help out.

chaz, i may have seen you flying about then as i was at Wingletye Lane waiting for a 248 when AVL5 flew past ;D Others of note, AVL8 and AVL16(?), PVL6 and PVL82 and NV139 (BE) Suprised that Arriva chucked out some E200's on there too. Judging by the amount of Cadets breaking down, i thought they would've kept all their spares at the yard |
