Can anyone list the routes that run exclusively with LTs with no or extremely rare conventional workings! I was thinking to myself and tried to list the night routes that only run with LTs, the only ones that spring to mind are the Hackney area routes. One route I rarely see with any LT substitution is the 189. W always seem to put any substitutes on the 16 or 32, so the 189 is very nearly exclusively LT. Only ever seen one or two non LT buses over the years.

How difficult is it to update the Ibus announcements and screens in the bus when a curtailment needs to be done?
Because RM sure seem to struggle with doing so on the 365

Apparently there are multiple road closures this weekend in east London owing to some more events (triathlon I believe)
Use another part of London guys, why use the same roads again and again.
Don’t see anything on tfl yet (apologies if I missed it); only found out because someone posted it
Amongst other things, the Elizabeth line sees delays almost every other day it seems, especially on the western branch. This does have repercussions on the eastern branch. I don’t know about TfL’s definition of minor delays but yesterday morning the 09:01 at Stratford (westbound) was missing and then the 09:16 was only going to Liverpool Street so that’s one train every 10 min instead of 5 min in the peak!

Sometimes even if the curtailment is entered it does not show until the next trip, by then it is too late. Some drivers seem to think it is rocket science when it is basic computers of something equivalent from the 1980's. Then when that bus is on the last trip of the day, it does not allow a curtailment to be entered.

I have often said the western part was worst then others on here tried to say otherwise. The government have recently admitted it this year the western part is a shambles. The Heathrow terminal 5 trains from the Shenfield branch is almost always delayed or cancelled. I initially wanted to see trains go through from Shenfield to Reading, but now I am glad they do not. Anything going past Paddington is going into the Bermuda Triangle

Are there any routes which are currently held back from potentially useful changes because of unfortunate geography?
For example the S1: Lavender Fields is minutes from Colliers Wood but it can’t run there because there’s a forest space in the way and no connecting roads, unfortunate because it would’ve been a handy link to have for all the shops

A lot of those bus routes just can’t get through that pesky border. 😁

Does anyone know what happened to TGM/Arriva's Heathrow, Garston and High Wycombe bases? Arriva had a lot of potential in west london with all of these garages however they just disappeared. Same with their Borehamwood storage base which ive not heard much about recently

Same with their Borehamwood storage base which ive not heard much about recently Heathrow and Garston closed in 2017 and 2018 respectively, High Wycombe will close alongside Aylesbury on the 27th this week.
