Great Topic guys!! Just finished working on an RR myself today, No Trains on South Eastern between Dartford and Rochester! London Central (BX), Travelmasters and Metrobus all providing Buses, Main Service, Dartford - Gravesend/Rochester (alternate working) not serving Higham: LC - BX providing PVL's 5, 14, 16, 37, 275, 364, 35, 36 with PVL's 50, 273, NV165, NV 173 on Standby. LG - A (sutton) providing PVL 262 (commercial) also as standby at Dartford (was the Controllers transport)! Several Yellow and one Red liveried Travlemasters Olympians also on the Main service Higham Shuttle, Gravesend - Strood via Higham: Metrobus Darts: 244 (in blue livery, with another blue liveried one) and several MPD's from MB. Metrobus were also running a Gravesend - Maidstone Shuttle, though i was'nt aware there was such a rail service! Just an Advanced Notice, Next weekend LC - BX are scheduled to be working Rail Replacements on the following: Sat 28th - Dartford to Gillingham via Gravesend and Strood LUL, Barking - Upminster Sun 1st Mar - Orpington - Tunbridge Wells and variations along that route (Sevenoaks - T. Wells etc.) Egg! I might go along on the Tunbridge Wells one. Do you know if its free like the one between Stratford-Dalston Kingsland which was a few weeks ago? Well your supposed to have a train ticket, but I never ask for them and I have never seen any station staff ask for them. |

Well, I could always try and see what happens. |

Northern Line was off at the weekend Stockwell-Morden, most was operated by LC/LG
Most was operated by main fleet vehicles additionally Commercial PVLs,NVs and sutton had E59 out on it which rarely wanders as well as a few EVLs Travel London covering the rest with volvos and enviros, with RA MALs operating the shorts Stockwell-Colliers Wood.

Would that be the reason why I saw MAL13 in Brixton today? |

Quite possibly it was neccesary to implement a bit of light running to position vehicles due to the traffic in upper tooting road, that not bad considering in service last weekend on victoria line work i left brixton via brixton hill,atkins road,clapham common to stockwell!!!

Well I used PVL 275 to go to Rochester to meet ETBBV - can't remember what we came back on other than a PVL and I think ETBBV knew the driver when he was at BX about 100 years ago Great Topic guys!!

Would that be the reason why I saw MAL13 in Brixton today? yes RA often put the buses on replacements south of the river Erh, there was no railway replacement when I saw it and it had not in service blinds up. It was heading in the direction of Streatham on Tuesday. |

I sure I saw one of those open top buses from LG operating the rail replacement on saturday  I know it was a red and white bus anyway. And there is replacement buses for the trams at east croydon. Was there this evening and yesterday evening travelling from east croydon to new addington, elmers end, and beckenham using buses from metrobus. Not sure if they are on tomorrow as there been no advertisment on the trams unlike the ones that happened last week where disaplys about the engineering works in croydon were on every tram |
