Tfl seemed to have placed new timetables for the W9 on all of its stops despite being temporarily. Isn’t the timetable remaining the same when it passes over to Metroline on the 21st?

It doesn't specifically say if TfL will restore the former 15 minute frequency from the 21st, just 'minor changes to times'. TfL did award the service with a PVR of 8 so I would assume so?

The new timetable is available on londonbusroutes.net ( here). It is indeed being restored to x15 mins. The service changes page on LBR states that it is being restored to x20 mins but that has to be a typo.

I wonder what the Outcome was of this and it's impact on the rest of the biz? I saw one of the Sullivans ex TfL (12 plate?) E400s in Bushey on Monday, with no blinds but somehow in service. The Roundels were still on the sides

Two of the three buses on the 950 today are E200s from the former TfL fleet - AE12 and 15.
Both have had roundels removed.

E78 on the 84 with full TFL branding. I wonder if these will eventually be repainted into the green?

According to FB, Sullivans have entered liquidation. Is that the entire buses or a separate arm that used to bid for TFL tenders.

It appears Sullivans Bus & Coach ltd have gone into liquidation however Sullivan's Buses Engineering has a O licence and licenced to have a number of vehicles www.vehicle-operator-licensing.service.gov.uk/view-details/licence/462391So don't think they will be going anywhere just yet .

Don't think they will last long. They seem to owe quite a bit of money to many companies and organisations including HMRC and TfL. Plus the Public Inquiry will likely have some quite serious impact

I’ve seen the normal school routes out today and there are buses tracking on both 84 and 306. One of the school buses I was following this morning (84 branded E) left Queens school to head into Watford to do a 306 journey. I watched it change its blinds from the incorrect 398 (should have been 397) to a 306

Yes, this has been confirmed by the operator as a standard part of closing down the TfL arm of the business. Smart move to keep it separate from their other operations.
