I guess the Orpington to Bromley South service was sacrificed as there is the 208 in order to keep the Sevenoaks to Chislehurst service going, seems to be similar problems most weekends.

There were gaps on the Dartford to Strood / Gravesend / Gillingham services as well. Usually operated by Go Ahead but was Ensign , 1st Bus Stop and Travelmaster. Presume it is Go Ahead London who has the shortages ? (Along with everyone else)

So I drove the Clapham Junction to East Croydon route on behalf of Southern. It is been a long time - the last time a few years back when it ran from Victoria with a large number of subcontracted duties, buses running in convoy and angry passengers waiting at stops other buses had missed out. One that occasion I was only standby and was asked to lead four buses from Victoria to East Croydon. Two of them got lost in the Battersea Park area and were never seen again and of the two that remained, one was limited to 10mph. Pleased to say there were no such dramas this time! The routeMAP LINKThe service runs every 10 minutes, with a half hourly service also running between Clapham Junction and Streatham Hill. Stops served are Clapham Junction, Wandsworth Common, Balham, Streatham Common, Norbury, Thornton Heath, Selhurst, West Croydon and East Croydon. All of the stops are within eyeshot of the stations. LoadingsModerate - most people seemed to be travelling end to end. Running timesNormally it's one extreme or the other - either timed at 7am on a Sunday morning or at 12pm on a Saturday. Couldn't quite work it out with this one as daytime runtimes were about 10 minutes short and evenings had around 10 minutes of recovery time. It's all moot as it runs at a decent frequency and layovers were generous. Vehicle ChoiceBeing based at MG I had a choice of E, WHV or WVL. First the first time ever I chose a WVL due to their superior turning lock. The junction at Streatham Common aren't a joke, a bus can easily get stuck there and have to reverse. The WVL however has a very good turning circle so the right hand turn from Greyhound Lane into Aberfoyle Road can be made without having to worry about touching the traffic island on the offside or the traffic light on the nearside. Performance wasn't a factor for this route as it's pretty slow going. SummaryA route that seems much longer than it should be - it took a good 90 minutes from end to end in shopping hours. It is necessarily circuitous - Bedford Hill being out of bounds especially adds a lot of time. Sometimes this is the price to pay for the buses stopping outside every station. The route gets a 3 for difficulty due to hazards, numerous tight spots, banned right turns and one way systems that could potentially confuse new drivers and the length of it. It was professionally run, the buses seemed fairly evenly spaced out and I didn't overtake anyone which means everyone was going at a similar pace. Route difficulty rating - 3/3 (difficult) Enjoyability - 3/5 (moderate) Next route review - Orpington to Sevenoaks
