Fucking ridiculous

[rigid pollen]

SEND THIS THROUGH

THIS IS THE BEST THING TFL HAVE DONE SINCE LOW FLOOR BUSES

[maiden ravine]

yeah mint

TFL have gathered together a braincell for once

[fresh willow]

Another W

[autumn timber]

those 10.9m kites for the 485 was deffo a mistake

[snow umbra]

Their fault tbf shouldve tested a shorter Kite on it 🤷‍♂️

[maiden ravine]

whys that

[snow umbra]

Cant fit the roads around Wandsworth apparently

[autumn timber]

they can’t fit in mortlake bus turning circle asw

[ancient sigil]

😂😂😂😂😂

[snow umbra]

Might as well send them to another route

[ancient sigil]

Please send them to 130

[fresh willow]

Make sense why they are at WL now

[ancient sigil]

Or 433

[fresh willow]

Just give it to 195

[snow umbra]

Didnt 130 use a Kite like last year

Extra

[autumn timber]

ye tram extras

[snow umbra]

Right

[fresh willow]

495 is up but idk when

Might even be cancelled

[autumn timber]

idk how 10.9ms pass they have to turn out so wide around portland road

[fresh willow]

So dumb

Innit

The route was spec to have 10.2s

Have they not seen Wandsworth quarter

[snow umbra]

GW full

[limpid basin]

tuk tbh

[snow umbra]

If anyone gets 495 it would be Metroline

[limpid basin]

would expect anthing more

[rigid pollen]

they ordered 10.2m, switched it to 10.9m and now are prolly gonna have to order additional 10.2ms bc the 10.9s wont fit

so essentially its js another 393 situation

204 asw

[rugged mortar]

No it isnt

[limber beacon]

?

[rugged mortar]

Shouldve done this years ago

The current 209 doesnt need to coexist with 378/485

[autumn timber]

icl they might asw have merged the 378 and 485 asw

[rugged mortar]

I agree

[fickle pelican]

This is acc good

209 needs an extension anyways

[fickle pelican]

Ur by urself on this one

[finite warren]

They're basically just making the 209 where it used to go tbh

[fickle pelican]

Oh is it

[finite warren]

used to go hammersmith

oh wait

no dumb me

wrong fecking route

it's going back to hammersmith tho

[fickle pelican]

Ahk

[thin arrow]

Well... that's the last 500 series route gone

[rancid siren]

So stupid

What is the actual point

The only useful change there is the 209

The 485 is just nonsensical

It severs the Castelnau to Putney link

And then also makes the 485 skip the Red Lion wtf

The 378 going via WWT Wetlands I can't disagree with as the 485 should have been removed ages ago

[rigid pollen]

i mean tbf yeah 485 could stay the same

it’s quite literally js the 378 via station road now

but the rest is good so

[rancid siren]

I think if they was going to do these idea they should send the 378 to Castelnau

485 Mortlake to Wandsworth I agree with (bar missing the Red Lion)

378 should be Castelnau to Putney via WWT Wetlands Centre and Station Road

And 209 is good

They could even do the 209 as Barnes Wetlands Centre and Barnes Pond

Like the old 283

And just swap the 485/378s northern termini

Lmk what u think of these ideas

[rugged mortar]

The more i think about 485 reroute

The more i think its useless

[rigid pollen]

yeah i was thinking that

i think this change would still work if 485 was untouched

[rancid siren]

i have a map of my final ideas after consulting smb off dcord

https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1EPDBqKQaLd87xAtxmGBgFasCYBGuGDI&ll=51.46941874008229%2C-0.22547438161340638&z=13

i think u can toggle between seeing each route

so you have 209 and 485 left

(485 could even be renumbered 378 if you wanted to rid the higher number but i see no benefit)

Also 419 is unaffected

So you kill off 378 and 533

33 also unaffected

[kindred arrow]

I thought everything was calm except the 209 not doing the full loop like the 533 did

That's definitely long if going from Barnes Pond into Chiswick or Hammersmith

[rigid pollen]

js walk the 1 stop up to Barnes bridge and get it from there

or js get 419

or walk over the bridge

[kindred arrow]

Done it multiple time, it's quite the trek, I assume many people that use the 533 are elderly people anyways so not really an option here, I do agree with changing at Barnes Bridge but really depends on the origin of the passenger

[rigid pollen]

ngl ive never seen an elderly person use 533

and the walk is literally 5 minutes

[rancid siren]

Bro what r u on

It's not that deep of a walk

And if you're that lazy you can get a 378 or smth

[kindred arrow]

Im talking about Barnes Bridge

[rancid siren]

Yes

[kindred arrow]

What 378 crosses Barnes Bridge

[rancid siren]

No bus crosses Barnes Bridge 💀

Are you alright

[kindred arrow]

Exactly

Huh how you putting it on me 🤣

[rancid siren]

I said if you can't walk from Barnes Pond to Barnes Bridge you can get 378

That is a valid statement

[kindred arrow]

Should have been clearer than mate

[rancid siren]

I mean I replied to you talking about it being a long walk

[kindred arrow]

Is crossing Barnes Bridge not long?

Im not saying the walk from the pond is long

[rancid siren]

I mean if you even have the idea of crossing you surely should be able to walk

Either way

The 209 and 378 should be merged

[rancid siren]

Look at this

[kindred arrow]

Your thing confused me even more ngl

Id rather stick to tfls proposals

[rancid siren]

wdym

tfl's proposals are way worse than that

also can u not toggle between the 485 and 209

[kindred arrow]

I did

[rancid siren]

so you shld be able to work out what i propose

[kindred arrow]

I did

And respectfully, I wouldn't want it
