I happy to formally announce RATP will be the official launch customer of double deck articulated buses to be introduced on route 125. This will address the capacity required on the route as well the potential to launch on other busy trunk routes whenever practical if successful. Yes the articulated is back! (Credit from bunchings on the 125) Can't wait to see this š

Today the service on 65 was atrocious. Had to wait for ages just before South Ealing for the driver not to let us on. I didnāt bother with waiting and just walked further into Brentford, with also the fact that now every time I use the 65 it always terminates at Great West Road. I feel like the only reason RATP has even retained this route again is that what operator can 65 even run from? They retain the 65 because it usually lands in very friendly tranches. The only thing stopping (likely) Abellio gaining it last time was a joint bid discount. And given TF took on the 111 after the 2021 contract start date, space wouldn't have been an issue. Another operator couldn't have done much worse than FW have done in the last few years.

Per LVF it appears none of the 60-reg ADHs are in service
Have they all been taken off service, or now withdrawn from TfL work ?

Used to love them on the 94, they were so good on the route back in the day (tbf its current BCEs are too), even if they do sound like an utter bag of nails now though, ADH45005 did anyway

Once the 452 is restored back to Kensal Rise Station, will there be a change in it's PVR too? Last time I checked, it should currently be 16 buses?

The bus wiki says its being restored on July 31st, has an actually reliable source confirmed that? The route has been removed from the stop tiles up to Kensal Rise for a long time now
