My use of the word It only seems to bother you though as no one cares… This sort of thing bothers me too - not just the language but the arrogance. |

Interesting to see WVL435 (61 Reg WVL), amongst all the 217 allocation

Like others you are also ignoring the point the tunnel was open all day. I am giving up trying to debate this any further. If people it’s fine to curtail a bus service when a road is open then I honestly give up. I wasn't ignoring anything, I was just explaining the frustration when the 108 is nowhere to be seen in east London. You already know the answer to your question: schedules cannot be changed at the drop of a hat and TfL/NX found out too late about the tunnel reopening to do anything. Yes it is annoying but the logistics surrounding the reinstatement of the 108's service is what's stopped Go Ahead. Asimple example would be not having enough drivers on duty as only half needed for Lewisham- North Greenwich. Instances like these show how the 108 is arguably the most difficult route to run in London. I can’t see anything online to suggest the tunnel was planned to be closed on Saturday but subsequently cancelled! This happened in the past but don’t believe that’s the case for this weekend. |

Interesting to see WVL435 (61 Reg WVL), amongst all the 217 allocation It’s a perpetual anomaly - the only B9TL for the 337, the only 61reg WVL in the 200’s temporarily fleet and now same with the 217 |

I think electrics only refers to the routes that are routed through the tunnel regularly, I would imagine an exception would be made for diesels on a diverted route if necessary and from day 1 a diversion through the Silvertown would be allowed if necessary because of the Blackwall shutting. What will be interesting to see is what the plan with the 129 and SL4 will be if the Silvertown shuts. Silvertown is a dual bore tunnel so I would imagine that, unless there was a major incident, only one bore at a time would be closed with contra flow through the other. This is already the case with the Blackwall and it doesn't happen with the cars so I can't see it happening with the Silvertown. |

Silvertown is a totally different kettle of fish, especially when it comes to vehicle sizes and safety standards. |
