Quick question. Is the 185 a split allocation between Q and PM? Most days now I see buses on the route that have Q and PM codes on the side. The 185 is officially all Q but not sure if that depot handles some of PM's maintenance.

Mr Views from the upper deck really took it back to the 90s. M1104. You might enjoy this one. Route 155 from 1997 youtu.be/hP70b4sZ-I8I still remembered when stockwell still had the one way system.

You know how Q sometimes provides buses for night routes at other garages do they ever do the same with day routes?

The garage has provided a bus to cover breakdowns on night buses for many years with suitable blinds. Necessary as services were/are infrequent. I assume Go Ahead are paid to do this now. This contract has always been specific and would not cover day routes.

Worth noting SE294, 5 and 6 have not been used since the service changes on 16 July. Most likely the first to move on from AF following several buses being freed up on paper from said changes.

I suspect they will either directly or indirectly go to the 470 Options could be to send them to C releasing shorter OMs from the S1 or to NP releasing shorter WS from the 456, which has seen SEe working, or to PL to release slightly shorter SE from the 493. They could just be used on the 470 until the changes are introduced. They should fit on its current routing but not the altered one.

It is going ahead at some point in the near future. But it will follow the S3s route and won’t serve Cheam Tesco. So they would fit now but not in a year for example. The question is whether Go Ahead decide to use longer vehicles initially to support the demand which the 470 has or just bring in shorter vehicles at the contract start to avoid costly swaps later? Aren’t some of the 322s SEs still available?
