Is there any change with loss or gain of pvrs for Go-Ahead London and Stagecoach?

It was a terrible idea to cut the R11 from Foots Cray Tesco, fair enough the 321 is enough for Sidcup. What they have overlooked is people from St Paul's Cray, St Mary Cray and Orpington work there. Removing the double run from the R11 is fair enough but why not extend the R1 to Tesco?

Anyone done the new routings yet? I'm planning to do the R7 on Tuesday. I got the R11 yesterday, lots of elderly passangers were very confused and annoyed about it not going to Tesco anymore.

Anyone done the new routings yet? I'm planning to tick them off this month, possibly on the 15th.

Anyone done the new routings yet? Did the R7 yesterday evening and I was the only passenger the whole way from Chislehurst to Chelsfeild π, coming back we made 7 as we arrived before the 61 in Orpington and people got on for Chislehurst. There's way too much time in the chelsfeild direction. Oh and there looping the loop at Chislehurst, using the 61 stand then back round to Sainsburys to start as the stand isn't there yet. No timetables are up on the stops, all show old routes or old times.

No timetables are up on the stops, all show old routes or old times. No new timetable is up the bus stop. I get on first morning bus today at Bickley and I am only one on it all the way until sainsbury in Chislehurst. Maybe it only start for few days before people will find out more about it.

I was also the only passenger between Aquila and Chislehurst when I rode it Saturday morning. The driver reckoned it should be popular when people find out about it but there has been hardly any publicity. I also think that the R6 could do with a frequency increase to at least every 20 minutes?

We have been told to use the 61 stand for now which I think is stupid as there's a shortage of space there anyway, and the stop outside Sainsbury's is more than long enough for buses to be able to pull in behind you to serve it. Personally I've been parking up at Sainsbury's.

Personally I've been parking up at Sainsbury's. Saw 36614 parked up there yesterday only a matter of time I thought, there was plenty of room indeed, but having had 61, 160, 161 & 162 all stopping there at the same time once we were blocking up the road lol. Sod the traffic though as they won't be getting in front of the bus for once. You may want to note Chislehurst / Ashfield Lane has no bus stop tile for the R7. It will be good once the bus stand is installed. Also such a Vague Destination just "Chislehurst" like the 61

There is an R7 tile on the 61 stand despite it being difficult if not impossible to serve that stop as there is often 2 or 3 61s parked there. Also, the ibus announces 'Green Lane/Belmont Lane', which is the 160/162 stop round the corner. Not sure how we're supposed to serve that one, short of reversing onto it.
