Does anyone have a clue on which hybrids may be prepared for the PVR increase on the 91? It already has B5LH MMCs and Evosetis, but I do hope it gets more Evoseti's instead of introducing a whole new other type. Probably more Evosetis. I believe it only needs 3? Correct, 15 to 18 irrc |

157 is finally full electric now I do feel ready to ride it in September, rather than be a party pooper due to it running from AL not C, and having lost its WVLs.  |

RA cannot accommodate DDs. There will probably be a shuffle round as I don't think BX can take the 99/269/401 unless some routes move out. Possibly 51 to MB/MG (at a stretch), 89 to NX and 486 to MG? It's already been confirmed anyway that the 188 will be going to Q. This plus the 108 going to NX (and 225 loss) suggests that space at BX for the 99/269/401 will be made available by moving some BX routes to MG. My guess would be the 244, 486 and 624/625/658? Will Q be losing anything for when route 188 comes back? |

I’ve noticed a Greggs truck occasionally stops in Tooting Broadway either in one of the Longmead Road stand spaces or directly around the corner, and I wonder if this sort of setup will cause issues with Ees because in the latter instance such as during this morning the truck parks where the 127/333 are try to turn into serve the first stop

I don't think you can blame Greggs for this, obviously they need their delivery to feed those hungry bus drivers. In normal circumstances when the truck isn't there the Ee's have more difficulty turning there than other buses and difficulty lining up to the first stop which is apparently why Arriva very rarely put EA's out on the 333. |

Do the same thing everytime |

I know, I’m not saying this is some issue that would completely block the Ees but it would maybe be something to be wary of since that turn has already got some discourse surrounding it. The trucks aren’t there most of the time anyway |

Or alternatively - the 118 extended to Camberwell Green and renumbered 45, with the existing route currently numbered 45 withdrawn. Which is what many have been predicting would happen! I wonder what the frequency of the 'new' 45 would be - as the 118 currently runs to slightly lower frequencies than the current 45. I suspect it will be the lower 118 frequency. Net losses are up to 6 bph along Walworth Road between Camberwell Green and Elephant and Castle, and up to 5 or 6 bph up Brixton Hill. |

Given the 118 should really every 10 minutes in it's own right, thats what the new 45 really should be but I suspect you and others will be right in that they'll keep the 118's current lower frequency instead. |
