This looked interesting to join in on as it's my local tube line.
The 558 is using buses from PB (TPs) best suited for an express route, I see some ex ELBG/Stagecoach Scanias, i think from Sullivan Buses. Seven Sisters is my neck of the woods to work.
I see these assistants and thankfully I dont have to deal with them, they look around as if they've never seen passengers before!

Some RRSB buses are using the Argall Avenue routing, mainly the Arriva drivers. I was on a DW and it was an interesting route from the double decker prospective.

I didn't think deckers could get through the barriers. Does the RSS route go via Lea Bridge Road, Argall Way, then Argall Ave? It apparently does Station Approach, Hoe St, Selborne Road, South Grove, Markhouse Road, Markhouse Avenue, South Access Road, LBWF council depot, Argall Ave, Argall Way, Orient Way, Ruckholt Road, Temple Mills Lane, Celebration Av, International Way, Montfitchet Road, Stratford City Bus Stn. I saw VLA125 turn down Markhouse Av the other day on the way to Stratford. I understand, but have not seen, that buses *to* Walthamstow do not run via the council depot and instead run via Lea Bridge Road and Markhouse Road. The roads in red above are the W19's route to Argall Avenue.

When up, the barriers sit at a 90 degree angle which gives clearance for deckers.

If I'm right, I think it's Markhouse Ave that's quite a tight squeeze to get through, even for single decker. But I guess I'm wrong lol.

Oh it is a tight squeeze but there were deckers down there when there was an AEC event at the Pump House museum when RMs, RTs and other buses were on display and running shuttles. I deliberately went to Markhouse Rd to see what was going on and the first stop after the roundabout near St James St has some poor saps standing there with their pink hivis to direct passengers to the RRS. There is a TfL bus direction sign directing buses on "B" down Markhouse Avenue. At some point I'll go for a ride and hope to get a ride through the Council depot.
