It was a very controversial move. I know I've mentioned a few routes in the past that was a big mistake for them to do it to I.e the 257, 238, 104, 212 and 295 in particular. The 295 one was unforgivable in my eyes. Worse still that the 295 were single doored buses, as the 345 initially was also when converted from Titans to LDPs The step-entrance Darts used on the 295 between 1992 and 1998 were indeed single-door, but the SLFs that Centrewest used when they won the route in 2000 were dual-door. There may have been odd workings of single-door buses in the early days.

]A new timetable will be introduced on route 174 with changes to late evening journeys towards Harold Hill from Dagenham CEME on all days of the week. There will be a later journey from Dagenham CEME leaving at 0108 and passing Dagenham Heathway station at 0118 providing a later connection with District line arrivals from Central London and at Romford Station at 0131 to provide a connection with the last Elizabeth line train from Liverpool Street. The later journey also closes the gap between the last 174 and first N86 buses from 50 to 30 minutes between Romford Station and Harold Hill. No change to times of buses from Harold Hill towards Dagenham CEME. TFL do this but on Sunday mornings there is an hour 25 gap between the last N86 and first 174 at Harold Hill 🤷♂️

If TfL had any tact they'd publicise the changes to the 174 given the useful connections from the last train rather than hide it on an obscure page (for most passengers) on their website! I assume there's nothing about this at stops?
Always has struck me how unwilling TfL is to publicise improvements (barring the Superloop), probably a lack of political incentive unlike Superloop but you'd think 1. the mayor would like to get word of the various frequency improvements rolled out lately out there (poor tact there) and 2. even disregarding this, TfL, should learn to promote its improvements independent of any political pressure (commercial networks know how to!).
On the contrary, I’ve noticed a few bus stops showing improvements which are occurring on August 31st. For example the 66 has some frequency increases, and the first bus on Sunday from Leytonstone will be around 5am as opposed to 7am which are some pretty big upgrades, and they were being advertised Good to know that! Thought they wouldn't bother given the usual shockingly poor nature of disruption info at stops but clearly another (more enthusiastic perhaps) team takes care of these things!

Well we are still yet to receive the new timetables at bus stops, with their questionable journey times (such as the 86 ones saying that the full route from Romford takes around 45 mins to complete, which is obviously a bunch of lies...)

To get TfL off on a technicality, the 2355 departure (Mon-Fri) takes 46 minutes.
