How much do any of you wanna bet the 243 will get cut back due to it being 'a long route' or it interludes with the 76 or there are too many routes crossing the bridge i can spend hours typing excuses they would say that makes no sense It remains to be seen about the 243 but what are these excuses that make no sense? It's probably going to be years before visitor numbers in Central London get back to pre covid levels so some cuts in services seem inevitable.

It will take some time for levels of use to settle down and new travel patterns to emerge, and I imagine that any reductions required will be met by adjusting frequencies rather than wholesale removal of routes.

Took a ride on the 323 and was wondering whether the features of high back seats, stop bells on seats and phone holders will now be a standard for future orders or whatever the 323 is an additional trial of the features? It will be nice seeing the features on all buses from now on.
Does make me chuckle they've got phone holders on a route that's 12 stops long.

Couldn’t agree more, seems more like it should be reserved for routes like the 108 but I ain’t complaining since it is something positive for East London ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

I know they now come as standard but find it funny that the second shortest route in London the 209 has USB points on the buses.

Would you say the Stagecoach interior suits the Enviro 200 EVs well?

Would you say the Stagecoach interior suits the Enviro 200 EVs well? Yes I would say it certainly does, the interior is amazing on pretty much any bus. I just really hope they do not change it!

I just really hope they do not change it! I wouldn't got as far as amazing but it certainly is a nice interior and I'd prefer it to stay - I fear the new interior will be inferior design wise just like personally, the new livery & logo are.

I just really hope they do not change it! Each to their own as personally I'm not a fan of the Stagecoach interior especially the seat moquette design. I prefer the Arriva and Go Ahead ones. The RATP one just seems like a direct copy of the S stock design

Maybe the colour scheme but the design is a copy of the S stock one. Probably same company did them both.

I don't like the current RATP moquette much though.

I'm guessing not but is there any reason why double deckers no longer appear on the 110 and 219?

I'm guessing not but is there any reason why double deckers no longer appear on the 110 and 219? For the latter it's no longer included on the blind sets. If I was to speculate I would say it may have something to do with residential objection along the section of Trinity Road served only by the 219. Mind you this is only a shot in the dark guess.
