State of the service was shocking though, there was a point where there wasn't a bus for over half an hour at Canning Town. It was because I wasn't working . In all seriousness, seems to have been mostly last minute staff duty cuts, unexpected passenger demand and a few mechanical buses, along with some traffic delays A normal chaotic weekend then ........................ for me personally what can you say about a genius who didn't bring his car up from Somerset on Friday and then remembers that we ain't running any trains CAT to BEC so how am I supposed to get from Isleworth to the DLR CC at Gallions ? Cue 4 long journeys on the 262, Central and 237 instead of cruising round the A406 in splendid isolation🙄 and a 1/3 of the time 🙄

What is unusual is the last buses on Gospel Oak - Stratford have extensions on request to Richmond. The use of buses plural suggests more than one can be requested Replacement buses operate Service S: Hampstead Heath - Gospel Oak (Agincourt Road / Southampton Road) - Kentish Town West - Camden Road - Holloway Road (for Piccadilly line) - Highbury & Islington (for Caledonian Road & Barnsbury) - Canonbury (St Paul's Road) - Dalston Junction - Hackney Central - Homerton - Hackney Wick - Stratford. Last westbound buses continue beyond Camden Road on request for stations to Richmond. tfl.gov.uk/tube-dlr-overground/status/#line-raillo-overgroundRegarding this; The information TfL supply is incorrect, the extensions aren’t even offered as set-down only. Abellio duty cards don’t have duties dedicated to extensions. Unsure if this changed when the route passed from Stagecoach London. The only time where there is a late night job Stratford - Richmond is UL70. That takes a different route around Hackney Wick and Homerton (via 30). The running time is VERY generous, buses arriving at Richmond almost +55 early. Not good for late night punters (if any). Apologies all for the lack of submissions to the forum, busy life!

Surely the point of the last buses running beyond Camden Road on a set-down only basis, is so that passengers who would otherwise miss the last train departure from Camden Road can still get to their destination station. In that sense it doesn't matter if the buses run early after Camden Road (or do not operate the full journey) as no-one is waiting to catch them.

On some duties UL70 is pick-up and set-down, still buses run excessively early as they are only controlled from Stratford, and Kentish Town West (Bridge Protection).

In that sense it doesn't matter if the buses run early after Camden Road (or do not operate the full journey) as no-one is waiting to catch them. The issue in the past has been that while TfL treat it as a set down only service, Arriva Rail London don’t so those replacement bus journeys show up in the National Rail timetable and journey planners as picking up at all stops. By the time the last bus reaches Camden Road, the last train to Richmond will have long gone and been covered by the earlier buses so set down only from Camden works - but Arriva have to be on board with that otherwise people will wait for those buses. I have picked up passengers who have seen those buses in the journey planners or been directed by station staff at Willesden Junction and Gunnersbury.

An Arriva bus got a bit lost around Canning Town this morning. The bus went along one way Caxton Street North in the wrong direction and then cut across a traffic light junction despite not knowing if it was safe! I assume the bus got lost trying to find somewhere to have a break.

Noticed a rail replacement service shows up on LVF "Rare" most days. Can anyone help with what service DL 11 is? I can't see any closures on the Underground.

It's a shuttle service for those visiting Olympia during the week. Operates as a 'circular' between Earl's Court - Olympia - West Kensington - West Brompton - Earl's Court. PVR of 2 TfL try to mask it as a 'complementary service' rather than a rail replacement bus. Buses run with 'blank blank' blinds and standard fares are in operation.

Is there really much demand for this service? Surely passengers could just walk from a nearby station like West Kensington, or change at West Brompton for the Overground to Olympia?

Empty whenever I’ve seen it. Total waste of money.
