Interesting video by Geoff Marshall about London's Least Used Bus Route (According to 2018-19 Patronage Data) - The 399 Are all Streetlites as rattly as the one in that video?

Why has the 629 become a 1 way route? They’ve been removed from stops towards Wood Green.

Think that the School Buses Stop here tiles have been put in for the AM direction stops but replaced with blanks for PM direction stops

"School buses" (or "School buses stop here") is common outside London even where the public were allowed to travel on them.

Not that many people know of their local school services.

Appears Sullivans are continuing to operate on 699 alongside Uno as they are providing a bus for V699 for both AM and PM

"School buses" (or "School buses stop here") is common outside London even where the public were allowed to travel on them. makes little / no sense to me 1. is this really the best use of extremely scarce funds? 2. there is enough publicity and signs at almost every stop stating about school buses and also signs on the buses 3. There is the driver who could turn someone away who had their heads burried and didn't know the changes 4. how many general public actually use 6** services anyway? I certainly couldn't think of any times where I would want to board a bus full of school children... 5. if in future they are to become available to the public again, will the tiles be put back 6. the timetables are still in the cases so why not have the number on the time? 7. is it still not useful for school children to see what route stops at which stop easily? 8. what I really can't understand is that at a lot of stops, the publicity poster advising of the changes obscures a day route timetable when surely it would make more sense to put it over a school one, and also some have publicity about paying fares etc, surely it would make more sense to place it over that!

In some cases school services can provide links that aren't done by normal services.

Anyone know what E63/64 are replacing? They are to replace older buses in the fleet so are for the provincial fleet.

I wonder if there's too many spare vehicles - I presume with the loss of 692/699 I can see WVL2-4 go to the commercial fleet to replace some of the vehicles there, the 13 reg Es from the 425 replaced TPL926/927 so I wonder with the introduction of E58-62 if straight after the vaccine rollout they will move to the commercial fleet along with 63 & 64.
