The 363 was a controversial decision back in the day as I lost my bus link to King's Cross, but I was won over by the more regular service on the then new route.
It would be a regular occurance that the through services to Crystal Palace on the 63 would have huge gaps in service while they concentrated on providing a regular service between Honor Oak and King's Cross.
I'm sure Abellio will provide as much of a great service on the route as they've done on the 63.

Three electrics out on the 185 today.

Ee234e was on the 185 late Friday evening.
I personally spotted Ee227 at Forest Hill.

MHV4 and EH83 are on the 40 tonight, presumably to allow for charging, but during the day at least they were all Ee today.

Looking at LVF, the 40 is fully Ee today.

Sorry to dig this up. A week to go, and we’re finally getting notices at bus stops. In this case, Waterloo. {Picture removed to save server space} However — at Holborn, nothing. Call me a pedantic prude, but the advertising of increased frequencies on the new route 1 is a white lie. Only the section between Bricklayers Arms and Canada Water is getting a marginal increase. On the positive side, I have been informing my friends who live in the Surrey Quays area about the 1's extension and surprisingly getting positive feedback from it. I suspect Canada Water- Camden journeys will be very popular with punters, particularly during the evenings. It should help the Jubilee and Northern via London Bridge if passengers choose to use the 1 rather than the tube.

The 194 curtailment was actually worse for those of us who used it to get to Bell Green from Forest Hill. That section of route is now served by the 356 with lower frequencies.

I think Arriva have a single route in Lewisham, Route 202 in a borough dominated by Stagecoach and Go Ahead. Abellio also have the 484 in the borough.
If you split Arriva down to the North and South subsidiaries, Route 78 is the main Arriva London North route that goes the furthest south in Southwark to Nunhead which means it'll be I think the most affected by Arriva's strike next week in South London.

Due to emergency works in London Road, Forest Hill, routes 176 and 197 are diverted from Lordship Lane/Wood Vale to Sydenham The Woodman via Sydenham Hill and Kirkdale. I saw a 185 coming up Kirkdale and down Sydenham Hill too There was a 185 (WVL) standing in Sydenham Hill waiting to go back to Victoria at 1740. But the vast majority of 185s were serving London Road, along with the 356 and P4. Also I think there were short turns on the 185 to Forest Hill which terminated at Lordship Lane/Wood Vale as I saw one going up the hill which then turned back at the top to park in Lordship Lane.

They're only going to stop once in Ilford surely. The X26 serves multiple stops in Croydon, I think the X140 does the same in Hayes too but can't remember about that particular one Two stops. West Croydon Bus Station towards Heathrow/Delta Point from Heathrow and Dingwall Road/East Croydon Station to Heathrow/East Croydon Station towards West Croydon.

I hope the Superloop route for Bromley to Croydon isn't the 119, but something more like the old 726.

There was an occasion a couple of years back on a bus I was on where a driver parked at the bus stand mid-route to use the toilet provided at a stand.
Another time a driver ordered a Chinese take-away where one of the staff waited outside the bus stop and the driver collected his food, also mid-route.
