Drivers are generally reporting that they can't fully turn around their Ees without having to reverse unless the stand is all but empty. Will be potentially interesting to see how the stand handles with more long wheel base buses there at the same time, even with what's said to be the EBD's improved turning circle. In the words of the Star Wars character Shiv Palpatine regarding that location, "We will watch your career with great interest" If an Ee can make it around the tiny K2/K4 stand at Kingston Hospital then Tooting Broadway should be no problem. I witnessed a 57 Ee turn there on Saturday and was astonished it was able to fit, clearly a very good driver. The overall situation's not quite identical between the two stands |

Yeah don't think there's a problem with Tooting Broadway as 5 Ee's were running on the 131 last Friday Drivers are generally reporting that they can't fully turn around their Ees without having to reverse unless the stand is all but empty. Will be potentially interesting to see how the stand handles with more long wheel base buses there at the same time, even with what's said to be the EBD's improved turning circle. In the words of the Star Wars character Shiv Palpatine regarding that location, "We will watch your career with great interest" I think the best options for the stand situation in Tooting would be to either extend the 131 to the Mitre, or increase the size of the St George's Hospital stand and extend the 333 there. |

If the Mitre could be use that would certainly help |

Honestly seeing the state of some of those E's just makes me wish that RR can get rid of them at the earliest opportunity they get. They are in an awful state and even though I am not a big fan of the BD11, they would be a major upgrade for the 101! I just wish it had that black casing, who knows BYD could surprise us! |

Do you think the E's and EH's on the 321 will transfer to Bexleyheath to cover the 99,269 and 401 if the Byd's enter service on the 321 late this year.

If the Mitre could be use that would certainly help I don't think widebodied DD could get around the mitre and the surrounding roads these days. I did however recently see an ALX400 there, i think it was a foodbank bus. |

Those few WVLs, on the contrary, are still at really nice conditions and will be something I will miss. |
