Yes, as funnily enough I went on the E3 today and got diverted. We got sent via the 65’s routing and then the H91’s routing between West Ealing Broadway to Acton Town, can’t remember the exact roads. But the route was an utter mess, so many huge gaps. (Which tbh isn’t really anything new for that route) Oh no! That sounds chaotic enough even if you are a local. Even worse when you plan to visit an area to travel to for an sneak visit with limited time, fighting to use the underground that doesn’t stop at your stop on top of lack of information (TfL web update would have sufficed here). Seems from another post above I probably should allow more time to use E3. 🥲 What also doesn’t help and is probably why the E3 is so busy is the lack of decent railway connections. Obviously Acton Town is the main one but it skips Ealing Broadway, it also stops at Hanwell and West Ealing but the train service like Acton Main Line is dismal out of those stations, then a couple of quiet tube stations which also don’t have great services due to them being off the main branches. And with so many sections where the E3 is the only route serving them, passengers have no choice but to suffer it. I can’t imagine how many times regular passengers have been up sh*ts creek without a paddle when it doesn’t turn up |

I can’t imagine how many times regular passengers have been up sh*ts creek without a paddle when it doesn’t turn up I often think about how more frequent it used to be 😔 for a while I used to take that route to work and missing one added more than 10 minutes to my commute 😫 |

85's timetable change later this month OUCH!!! Just........OUCH!!! One of the most absurd changes. The 85 is regularly packed even at off peak times, it’s a hugely busy and popular that should not be getting cut at all. It should be getting increased if anything |

85's timetable change later this month OUCH!!! Just........OUCH!!! The fact that the PVR went from 15 to 12 buses for a route like that is very shocking too, wonder how it will do with that new timetable. |
