Couldn't 499 just go to RM

Oh fair
solar palm
But moving it to BK makes way more sense anyways
would the timetable have to change a bit?

🤷
solar palm
or could 499 go back to NS?
think BK is filling up now
346 and 193 can share buses at NS
(and maybe 296 as well)
if 346 moves to NS, 296 could end up using Allison E200s alongside its original voith E200MMCs
amber ruin
No if it does happen the YX65s arent moving with 346 apparently
verbal wave

Oh

Wouldn't 287 be a smarter move to BK
No
static flax
would the timetable have to change a bit?
No, the duties will be kept the same. Only difference is the starting & finishing time changes
346 however, most likely will be changed
The late 499 duties are scheduled to have the meal reliefs in Romford garage anyways
thick edge
hmm what if 499 went to NS and 128 went to BK? it runs closer to it
static flax
not really
Romford is closer to it than Barking
Romford are fighting for space though so I don’t know how that’s going to turn out in the end
If the rumours are true and 86 goes to Lea fully, that’d be a relief
raven nova
But I’d imagine they want to keep some journey still at NS
raven nova
Romford are fighting for space though so I don’t know how that’s going to turn o...
Aren’t they looking for a garage or acquired on near ferry lane (sl12 terminus) wasn’t that a rumour or sum?
static flax
Rumour, there’s really no land at ferry lane like that
raven nova
Rumour, there’s really no land at ferry lane like that
oh fairs r they actively looking for space then ?
surely they’d want 248 back at one point asw nah
static flax
Arriva can keep that 😂good luck getting 248 back when there’s SL12 to focus on
static flax
oh fairs r they actively looking for space then ?
Yeah, just no idea where
raven nova
surely they’ll look for somewhere so they can rob GY Routes lmao
static flax
I actually looked around Ferry Lane and I see where the SL12 would be going around, just don’t know when the stops are getting implemented
raven nova
in the future
static flax
It’s like the 180 around the Erith end
Changeovers will still be at the Tesco no doubt
raven nova
It’s like the 180 around the Erith end
Idk why they need a SL Route in an industrial estate
it’s like sL11 in Belvedere
static flax
Idk why they need a SL Route in an industrial estate
Tbf the amount of people that make that walk from there to the Station
It makes a tiny bit of sense
raven nova
Extend the 346 down to Rainham Ferry Lane
static flax
because no service bus goes there, it’s a 15-20 minute walk give or take
raven nova
And end SL12 at Rainham Station
static flax
Extend the 346 down to Rainham Ferry Lane
And that’s the Upminster residents unhappy
I’d say 174, it’s not much of an extension
You’d be going on the A13 for a minute and you’re already there
raven nova
And that’s the Upminster residents unhappy
You could go from Harold hill directly into Upminster park estate and then loop at Upminster station like the 370 and head to Rainham
raven nova
I’d say 174, it’s not much of an extension
365 could work too and give Rainham a night service
static flax
You could go from Harold hill directly into Upminster park estate and then loop ...
346 was extended to aid the 347, it wouldn’t work my bro
raven nova
Fairs
static flax
I’ve driven 346 and many people use the section between Gallows Corner & Upminster Station
raven nova
couldn’t u just send down 103
static flax
Even before the A127, many hitchhikers get on
static flax
to be honest, I couldn’t tell you 🫠
static flax
Is 296 being decked?
Should be
raven nova
Imma guess it’ll use 425s batch of SHs
static flax
That was actually the plan in Rainham
11075-81 weren’t blinded, but 77 went out with no blinds
static flax
small garage
raven nova
no more diesels
static flax
The two routes that wouldve stayed diesel are supposedly leaving
raven nova
Idk how NS even have the capacity for 346
static flax
I wonder what will happen to the rockets
raven nova
Idk how NS even have the capacity for 346
because they can barely fit in 86
static flax
Idk how NS even have the capacity for 346
To be honest I think it would be better because they have 193, at one point Rainham was short on single deckers for the 346
193 & 296 single deckers can aid the 346 if worst comes to worst
raven nova
193 & 296 single deckers can aid the 346 if worst comes to worst
well would be 193 only if 296 gets decked
ATP should’ve got 375 from arriva asw
static flax
The remaining YX68’s can jump on the 346 as that’s the only route they’ll be able to do
Despite 193 using MCV Evolutions in the past but I believe they were 10.2m
solar palm
well would be 193 only if 296 gets decked
296 should've really gotten decked or partially decked after its E200s left NS (Except 36555)
sweet finch
They should just put 499 back to arriva
raven nova
When’s 499 up
1.5 years

But moving it to BK makes way more sense anyways
it literally does not
elfin remnant
It’s more convenient being at RM than BK
sweet finch
I can’t stand stagecoach TfL livery its so boring idk why they don’t use the beachball ones on new buses
low walrus
Because London means all red
solar palm
^
and SLN no longer use the orange and blue interior anymore. Its all just the standard TFL interior
Regional wise, its grey and blue
dim apex
Rumour, there’s really no land at ferry lane like that
they were but it stopped
solar palm
It’s more convenient being at RM than BK
what about at NS like before?
(as in 499 moving there)
or maybe keep the 499 but move 346 over and also move the YX65s to Walthamstow
sweet finch
Because London means all red
Ohh
