LO-H Wealdstone - Watford Junction will be running tomorrow operated by Sullivan's. Will have a PVR of 6. I imagine it will be a good mix of old and new AEs and SLs.

Hopefully one or both TPLs will be runningĀ I was told this route is SD only. But let's see what happens. On another note TPL926 (one with the leaky turbo) is on TfL rail replacement today.

A bit out of area, but owing to 'Large Sheppey based operator' getting their knuckles rapped with a 7 day suspension of O-Licence, Brighton & Hove are out on Ebbsfleet - Meopham and also Gillingham - Dartford today.

Arriva Kent and 1st Bus Stop were also out on Dartford - Gillingham. I was chilling on Lewisham to Dartford via Bexleyheath, nice and far away from the busy routes elsewhere in London! About 10 minutes of running time needs to be removed in both directions between Falconwood and Bexleyheath. The stopping arrangements at Kidbrooke could do with some rationalisation. Southeastern are telling people stops L and M on Kidbrooke Park Road. National Rail Enquires says stops A and B in Henley Cross and the drivers are instructed to stop outside the front of the station.

I always serve Henley Cross, although not for much longer as its closing. I wonder how difficult it is to provide the right information to the poor customer. quote author=" 6HP502C" source="/post/552508/thread" timestamp="1581976102"] A bit out of area, but owing to 'Large Sheppey based operator' getting their knuckles rapped with a 7 day suspension of O-Licence, Brighton & Hove are out on Ebbsfleet - Meopham and also Gillingham - Dartford today.

Feels like the right thing to do and there were customers waiting there. I only found out about the Kidbrooke Park Road stops from a Tweet from Southeastern - I later read the poster by the station entrance which confirmed the public were being told the stops were on Kidbrooke Park Road. So then I served both. I think in 5 trips I picked up a total of about 15 people - nobody likes the route!

Still issues with this Saturday GAL are clueless ote author=" 6HP502C" source="/post/552541/thread" timestamp="1581985853"] I always serve Henley Cross, although not for much longer as its closing.

So then I served both. I think in 5 trips I picked up a total of about 15 people - nobody likes the route! Someone should have a word with both Southeastern and Go-Ahead so a clear message is sent to drivers and passengers alike. As a driver I serve the stops on both Kidbrooke Park Road and Henley Cross, but then I am forever looking out for stray passengers on these jobs. Lewisham is another good one. One day when going towards Hither Green, a couple once struggled to find stop E, walking past stops B, C and D on Rennell Street hoping to find it, oblivious that it's on Loampit Vale. They then continued down Molesworth Street, waving at me so I stopped and picked them up! When going from Lewisham to New Cross on the Woolwich route it's necessary to serve stop E on Loampit Vale, turn the bus around via Station Road then serve stop F on the other side of Loampit Vale. There are always loads of people at various points on Station Road trying to flag the bus down, but it's not practical or especially safe to make extra stops on that road. A lot of people struggle to find stop E and probably end up on the local buses.

Would that be this one who made the news tonight on rail replacement at Lingfield....? www.lbcnews.co.uk/uk-news/emergency-services-lingfield-bus-crash/
