oh interesting, who has the 718 this time? No operator was found for 718 for this weekend so won't run. Sullivan Buses will operate the 718 on Monday 13th - Friday 17th using 12 Euro VI Double Decks.

Who are running the 718-720 next week? Is it the same as last time? 718 is a different operator, don't know about 719, 720 still Sullivans So... 718 (M-F Only) - Sullivan Buses 719 - Metroline 720 - Sullivan Buses

Wouldn’t it make more sense to scrap the 719 on the weekend and just run the 718 and 720?

So... 718 (M-F Only) - Sullivan Buses 719 - Metroline 720 - Sullivan Buses So stations be Harrow and Wealdstone and Wembley Central won’t be served? Correcto. Use local buses. Logically yes, but no operator came forward for 718. Metroline probably have their duties all ready for 719.

I mean it is not that big of a gap for local bus use i mean TFL do it for the L1 and L2 (besides late night and maybe ealry morning services) you are told to use local buses from seven sisters or get the tube to where ever to reach your destination.

Advert came up on my Facebook earlier Sullivan looking for drivers for the rail replacement next week £180 a shift. Also see there’s only one bus available at the weekend for the Harrow to uxbridge replacement and no buses Acton to South Harrow presumably because resources already used on the Watford replacement

The big 4 (Abellio, Arriva, Metroline, Sullivan) aren't doing them. No idea who's operating Stratford - Camden Road, Camden Road - Willesden.

Suspect First Berkshire are covering Harrow to Uxbridge as they had out a vehicle out in South Harrow today 10/2 route learning A slight correction to my above post it’s not one bus on the Harrow to Uxbridge just that one ROUTE with numerous buses South Harrow to Acton no replacement service

Today's Thameslink South RR's by GAL produced the following in a 2 hour session this morning @ Peckham - I was actually there to "do" the AL P13 E200's in camera once and forever. EH224 EN39 E203 E257 (in LG livery 👍) E200

EH224 EN39 E203 E257 (in LG livery 👍) E200 EL1 and E282 also ran on the route, additionally quite a few arriva and abellio buses were also running on the RR.

The London Overground replacement between Camden and Stratford/Willesden Junction yesterday was being run by coaches from a few different companies, including one based in Birmingham. It was quite an unusual experience being on rail replacement coaches on the small roads of Hackney Wick and later on West Hampstead. Unfortunately some of the drivers were quite rude and very unprofessional in their conduct, I know the companies were chosen as a last resort this weekend but I hope tfl doesn't choose them again

Yeah i agree the coaches did not even stop a few times/no one knew it was rail rep as they did not have rail dests and just the company name.
I mean it was still decent between between Camden and Willesden 3 buses (when i did it) Z&S E200, London Bus Group Plaxton President and a London Bus Group Gemini 2.
On another note UL78 had a nice mix of First Solent Gemini 1s and E400s.
