Can anybody confirm if TfL has shut down the text to find the next buses from your stop service? Have tried to use it a couple of times recently and my message failed to go through to the number. If it has been abandoned there's a lot of small signs to be removed from stops. It works fine on LVF used it several times today by just entering the stop code I've said twice now that I know the stop number works on LVF. I'm asking about the SMS text system which can be used by people without smart phones. I tried to use it last week when I couldn't access LVF at two locations and the text did not go through.

The SMS service has indeed been discontinued due to low usage. I believe the cost of running it was not justifiable with the level of usage.

The driver of WVL 489 on route 5 needs to learn to use his mirrors. Just tried pulling out on me almost forcing me to stop or end up on the other side of the road at Canning Town. I'll always give way to buses but not if serving a stop and starts indicating as I have already proceeded to pass.

Can someone tell me when did they make the change once again in Walthamstow bus station. This is like the 3rd time in 5 years they've done this. They moved the 34 bus stop to the other side and the 58 bus stop where the crooked billet buses go.

There was a post about it in the Upcoming Changes thread and in Bus News - week 13/11/21 but it does seem to be at very short notice. tangytango.proboards.com/thread/8629/upcoming-changes?page=551&scrollTo=665209

That's one bus station that they love to reshuffle their stands and bus stops too often.

I thought they were payed out based on what direction/corridor they serve?

What’s the purpose of moving the routes? I thought they were payed out based on what direction/corridor they serve? It's not just the 34 and 58, other routes have swapped between C and D. Route 34 towards Barnet will now start from bus stop C Route 58 towards East Ham will now start from bus stop D Route 212 towards Chingford Station will now serve bus stop C Route 212 towards St James Street Station will now serve bus stop D Route 215 towards Lee Valley Camp Site will now start from bus stop C Route 275 towards St James Street Station will now serve bus stop D Route 675 towards St James Street Station will now serve bus stop D Route N26 towards Chingford Station will now serve bus stop C Route W11 towards Chingford Hall Estate will now start from bus stop C

www.cityam.com/amazon-enters-london-bus-market-running-four-lines/CityA.M. have got confused though given they got the story from My London who are notorious for providing misinformation, maybe they should get the stick - they think just because some of the routes that run to Amazon warehouses are run by London operators, they are part of the London bus market. The routes don't accept Oyster and the buses don't have to be red in the first place, it's just the probability is the bus will be red if run by a London operator

Then today, drivers were being reminded to serve the new stops. On another bus station matter, North Finchley bus station was reopened yesterday, after very nearly 4 months closed.

One very easy way to resolve that Let the tyres down, probably no serious damage other than to the drivers self respect.

Another driver not bothering to know the height of his vehicle - there is a 11’3” sign on the approach to the bridge as well as one on the bridge and your in a 14’5” vehicle - even a low height decker cannot get under
