YT10 XCF SP seems to be attached to the 281, it’s been appearing daily now on the route.
Hope this working stays, at least so I have chance to catch the route 😂

I think the HVs ISA do slightly go over the speed limit in 20 zones, I’ve seen them do close to 30 often, but be glad you don’t have to drive 9.6m BYDs at Camberwell. Those can’t do more than 18 the entire route. Even in a 30 zone, would it not do 30 or it just caps you at 27 how much you give it gas? All of this just sounds awful. The bus hit 30 but then drops back to 27 then sometimes drops to 23/4 then goes back upto 27. In the 20s it's 17 then sometimes drops to 15 then back to 17. This is just the transition.......the eventual idea is that you will have a robot with a red flag going in front of the bus!!!!

Would certainly put the 205 up there. The old 205 has essentially been rendered obsolete by the Elizabeth Line as well as improvements on the SSL, think that's clear with the proposed restructuring but certainly intially I'd agree The re-routing of the 205 is not a great idea. It is a well used route (Marylebone and Euston Roads included), more so than the 30. It is used by lots of long distance passenger and those going between rail stations often having luggage, all much easier by direct bus. Try going from Paddington to Marylebone, Euston or Kings Cross by Elizabeth line, not so convenient and needing changes.

Don't laugh, Stagecoach are already trialling autonomous buses over one route in Scotland.

That bus stop was even shown on a news report on Good Morning Britain. Of course they omitted to say both routes have Borismasters from the same company, RATP. Admittedly that sight might soon disappear as they could be replaced by routes numbered 11 & 12 in due course.

A few more SPs were taken out of service at the end of May Now just SP 40079 & 40080 between 40056-40164 remaining in use Neither of these pair have been used since 7th, so might have gone now Next up will be : SP 40165-40175 are still helping out at Hounslow Heath SP 40176-40190 are still helping out at Fulwell Looks like 2 of them already out of use Both should be getting VHs (currently on 49 and 125) soon That will leave 40041-56 for H32 (until end of contract in March 2023) 40191-40206 for H98 (likely to get buses from 142 & 642, until end of contract)

Not all of SP40041-55 are for the H32 and indeed a few seem to move back and forth between AV & WK
