vernal oxide
#

199/N199 chargers

#

for the Electroliners

worn cloud
#

hold up

#

isnt 171 GAL

vernal oxide
#

yes

worn cloud
#

soo

vernal oxide
#

?

worn cloud
#

fill up the gaps for me

#

if 199 is SC

#

only thing i know about 171's relation to catford is it's terminus being TL

vernal oxide
#

yes and its getting kicked out

#

of TL

worn cloud
#

so where will it go

#

stands outside of TL?

vernal oxide
#

some random bus stop

#

seems stagecoach Electroliners are due sooner than we think

hasty oyster
#

they'll drop off at the same stop they currently do but light run to bromley road & then turn back to stand there ^

spiral kiln
hasty oyster
#

yes

spiral kiln
#

Might as well curtail it to the town centre

#

Less stress init

hasty oyster
#

and the stand would be where

spiral kiln
#

Probs 75/185 stop

#

Towards Lewisham

hasty oyster
#

would make sense tbh

spiral kiln
#

Yeah

#

Plus you got a fair few routes that go to TL

hasty oyster
#

u have many buses going towards TL anyway

spiral kiln
#

Exactly

hasty oyster
#

i was thinking re-route 171 to somewhere else which isnt TL but idk where

spiral kiln
#

I would’ve said Lewisham but I don’t really see the point of that

hasty oyster
#

136

spiral kiln
#

As in its current LOR but delete the Catford bit

hasty oyster
#

oh

spiral kiln
#

And extend to lewisham instead

hasty oyster
#

75/185 already do that

spiral kiln
#

True

#

I’d say the Catford town centre curtailment works better tbh

hasty oyster
#

yh

#

or hither green

spiral kiln
#

Oh yhh Hither Green

vernal oxide
#

All bcs of the stinky 199

hasty oyster
#

199 is so irrelevant

#

just get a 47

vernal oxide
#

Oh well GAL deserved that L for not letting the 422 go to the garage

vernal oxide
#

47 can be done with likkle train tho

hasty oyster
#

true

spiral kiln
#

Mums

fringe dock
#

All that dead mileage 🤣

worn cloud
#

lool

fringe dock
#

I don’t see why they can’t just extend it. You might as well make some money

#

Basically they run 2.4m dead

#

1.2m each way

#

To and from stand

#

Smh

worn cloud
#

what a waste

fringe dock
#

I would of cut it to Catford Bridge

#

Even then the 171 is pretty useless now since getting chopped from E&C

#

You might as well scrap it and extend the 172 to Catford Bridge

#

Cause the loads start dwindling from Brockley anywats and then it’s pretty empty from Catford Road to TL

#

To stand

chrome zenith
#

or

#

171 extenstion to downham bromley road !

hasty oyster
#

No point

fringe dock
#

If you’re gonna extend anything towards that stand you might aswell do a 225 extension

#

Thought it wouldn’t be pointless extending the 171 had it not been cut to E&C

chrome zenith
#

might aswell

hasty oyster
#

There is no point in extending 171

#

Should be cut back to catford but then it makes the route essentially useless

spiral kiln
#

It lost a lot of demand since it got cut to E&C

main bane
#

what even was the need for cutting it from Holborn in the first place
