The 60reg ADH’s appear to be being used rather less, with LTs being used on H91 and VH’s displaced onto the E3 I don’t think all have been refurbished as planned which may indicate their future is possibly prospects are not too bright. I would support them being displaced to the E1, with the newer ADHs withdrawn entirely due to unreliability. They would provide a good temporary solution as it has already been d discussed TFL wouldn’t allow SPs. |

Even so, the YX62s have gotten much better as of recent, only one non-fire damaged one has been off for a bit at AV now, even then its visible from round the side! Meanwhile multiple SN60s are VOR at the current time. |

For those wondering about the 94 shortening to Portman Street it is deferred until early Autumn.
Not sure if it is due to Bond Street Elizabeth Line opening delayed 3-4 months or new stand is not ready.

I think the stand has always been ready as on some occasions the 13/113/139 and 189 have all stood at Portman Square when there have been protests closing central London. |

Do they actually stand there though ? I didn’t think there was an actual bus stand on the square , more a turning point only ? |

Surely tfl would’ve learnt from the time when the 94 was being curtailed to Marble Arch for a while, and Lancaster Gate at one point? The demand was insane. |

To my knowledge there has never been a stand on the square itself, so believe you are correct. If the 94 stand is going to be on the north side as is expected coming from that direction, parking alterations need to be made, so they're probably giving themselves some time to sort that out |

There are no stands apart from one on Wigmore Street. |

Could the H91 end up with a part allocation? I genuinely hope so, as I am not a fan of LTs, but would H32 or H91 be prioritised for a full allocation of LTs? I doubt route H32 will gain LTs with RATP now, as AV has lost its LTs, unlike V. |

The demand was insane. True enough, but if enough bus passengers switch to the Central Line for being quieter once the Elizabeth Line opens - especially once its station at Bond Street opens - Oxford Street may manage without route 94. Admittedly I feel that route 7 would be a more suitable withdrawal from Oxford Street but that's another story. |

It’s just inconveniencing people who get on between Piccadilly and Marble Arch, of which there are many. It’s a much busier route than the 7. |
