Can the 470 buses fit around a route like the H20 ?
I’m wondering whether the loss of 404/470 could be a potential source of buses for a bid on the H20/H26..

H20 has seen 10.5m workings in the past so is definitely possible, H26 too I believe Must have been a squeeze though! 😂 I’m sure you know the H20 better than I do, but I remember when doing it E2E (with a very friendly Abellio driver I must say) I thought multiple times if the bus was able to squeeze through 😂

Could be true, especially if leased. But details of lease terms are unlikely to be public. Many freeholders will allow changes for a fee of their choosing, but don't have to agree, and might not if cabling means interrupting forecourts of other units All has been sorted and the final steps for the big switch on are being worked on by the contractors...

The 452 arrangement at Ladbroke Grove is set to to continue for a further few months according to londonbusroutes. The Kensal Rise stand has had its capacity decreased after a new south facing bus stop was put in on Station Terrace, which could imply this is permanent, hopefully they find a way to incorporate all 3 routes as I can't imagine its particularly convenient at Ladbroke Grove given that isn't the largest of stands itself.

It can be diverted to X which happened a while ago. It would’ve made sense to do that in the first place rather than finishing at Sainsbury’s.

agreed, Ladbroke Grove Sainsburys' gets really clogged if there are more than 4-5 vehicles standing about

Are 28’s standing on the Harrow Road still ?

Any reason why they’ve done this? I checked out Google Maps and looks like there is only enough room now for the 302 to stand by the station entrance

I checked out Google Maps and looks like there is only enough room now for the 302 to stand by the station entrance There's still the 2 parts to the stand, the east facing part adjacent to the tracks now holds 4 buses where it previously held two as they took out the parking, the south facing part round the corner only holds one bus after they put in the stop (previously held 4). So with a total capacity of 5 (previously had a capacity of 6 with both parts of the stand) they could possibly still squeeze 3 routes in there

H26 is cleared for 10.9 so can confirm that one is possible Says who?! The Maximum Approved Dimension in the tender spec is 8.8m! There have been instances that a R68 or R70 bus has been used.
