i saw one of bus spider did show route 574 shuttle bus there but some spider bus map not yet change ! give the time! I can't see a 574. However on the Galleons Reach DLR spider map a 573 shuttle to City Airport is shown. The implication is that this route will run from there but simply follow the diverted 474 to CA. This seems pointless to me but as you say not all of the spider maps have been updated yet.

Thanks. I see it is locked away as a link from the service change pages but is not reflected anywhere else. How is the average person supposed to find the info given the Service Changes page is buried away inside the Bus Real Time info? 1/10 TfL.

I am guessing this will be run by Stagecoach or Docklands. If Stagecoach is will no doubt use the Tridents coming off route 541 this weekend . They could have saved money on blinds and just kept the 541 number ;D (after all the 541 route has already changed twice in a year )

Some (unspecified) double decks will run on the 219 in place of the loaned Darts.

Will be interesting to see which deckers go on the 219, my money is on WVLs. I think it's extremely likely it's WVL's will be used as the vast majority have been withdrawn. As for the single deckers from the 219, those lovely 51 reg LDP's get a new route to do before they leave London.

Indeed, the Darts will be on their way in a couple of months, unfortunately a few linger on elsewhere, luckily: *202 and 207 at BX *204 at SW *205 at NX (as a refurb float for the 225) *210 at NX (only refurbished one, for the 108) *206 at MW I imagine 210 will hang on until 2014 at least, for the 108, as they've refurbished it. Not sure about the others. All those have been refurbished except for 210 which has been refurbished twice. When brought, they had black Esteban seats. Hopefully, they all remain ;D

Route 573 not showing on LVF

Route 573 not showing on LVF To be fair it is not showing on the TfL's live bus departures either! According to that system there are no buses at all at North Woolwich except e/b 474s.

Maybe BE / SI forgot to start the service today ;D LOL! I doubt it. I rather suspect that TfL's systems have yet to reflect the change for the 573. The changes to the 473 and 474 were put in a couple of weeks ago.

I assumed buses on route 573 would stand a Prince Regent but after reading notices again it seems the buses stand a London City Airport. Would it not be better for buses to stand at Prince Regent?
Passengers that board at Prince regent will have to wait on the bus at London City Airport while it takes it's stand time.
Is that actually a need for the buses to even serve Prince Regent as the 473/4 both serve City Airport?
