There’s also been a few VH’s covering on 116 over the past few days. And VH45154/155 is at FW. Not sure if this is temporary or not. I think they are covering the last couple of refurbs from the 71’s allocation. Easier to move a common type in of course rather than type train drivers for ADEs which Fulwell have never had. |

Looks like DE20020 is being used as a meal relief bus for the 85/371 drivers as its been parked on The Bittoms stand for a number of weeks. Talking of DE's, DE20122 seems to have recently been withdrawn (on LVF) ,It also appears DE20187 has transferred from Fulwell to Hounslow, meaning the only YX11 DE's at FW are now DE20176/178/179. Shame to think the only original batch of DE's for the 33 are now DE20120/123/124/125. Imagine they'll live out their time until the new Kite's arrive next year.

183 might be one of the worst operated routes in London.

183 might be one of the worst operated routes in London. Are you sure you're not just saying this because of the PVR decrease from 25 to 19 buses? |

183 might be one of the worst operated routes in London. Are you sure you're not just saying this because of the PVR decrease from 25 to 19 buses? nope it's been quite bad for a while now. Tonight for example I got on BCE47120 due out of Golders Green at 20:15 didn't leave until 20:25 and broke down the stop after. 183 due out at 20:26 then leaves everyone at stop 'Finchley Road' but oddly the 183 after that also is there. Get on and it regulates the stop after at Hoop Lane for about 7 minutes, gets overtaken by BCE47129 on 183 to Pinner (the one after the one I got on which held). When I got off the 183 at about 21:20, 2 183's for Golders Green bunched at Harrow I use the 183 every day and it always amazes me how I always see bunched 183's to Pinner, North Harrow curtailments and often gaps in the service. It's ridiculous - when it was an SP/VHR operated service it ran perfectly fine! |

The 183, used to be one of the best routes in NW in terms of service and quality even when it was operated by two garages. Probably the SL10 affected the route a lot. |

Forgot to mention but last Friday I got 3 Hendon, Queen's Road curtailments in a row! Got kicked off stop after 'The Quadrant' and then the two 183's after also terminating stop after. Wanted TE1742 on 240 but that was late and eventually BCE47157 pulls up running the full length so I got that instead |

The 183 in theory could be cut to Harrow Bus Station and replaced by extending the 340 That would directly link Pinner to Edgware, Harrow and Wealdstone, Stanmore Stations.

It could create potential issues with stands at Harrow and with the 340 potentially being extended to Colindale, who knows how long it would be e2e. Pinner isn't too badly connected to the areas you said with the H12 going from Pinner to Harrow Weald and further to Stanmore Station. |
