The supposed Stratford Road review that hasn't (yet) materialised ???


It would be a bit odd to me to have a review during this current crisis when the numbers wouldn't really be a true reflection of people travelling needs, patterns  and requirements etc. I could be wrong.

Not enough buses maybe.

Splitting routes normally involves using MORE buses!

It probably does mean AG have been able to use more double decker buses elsewhere i'd have thought on routes such as the 4 if 73 is using the E200's?
And also the X2 increased to every 15 minutes meaning more buses along Old Lode Lane the same day as that change occured, so maybe the single deckers cope better on there with that?

So currently the 5 has ALX400's.When 6701-6710 go on 5 then where will they go 73 probably.Or 1/1A.

AG 4/4A currently seem to have more double decks than they would have had pre COVID. From my observation for example today, a number of these seem to be Platinums and generally the 75XX batch. If these are moving to BC this weekend, I would presume these will be replaced by B7TL double deckers and if there are some spare from the 5 thats probably where they will come from.
These extra 75XX have presumably come from making the 73 single deck E200 MMC.
Also i've seen the 75XX platinums used on other AG double decker service, such as 11C (7519 today I think), 1/1A and 72.

So I would guess the B7TL ALX400 and B7TL Gemini would both still be used across AG double decker routes routes like the 75XX. So 1/1A, 4, 11A/11C and 72. Rather than a specfic service as you suggest and I doubt they will be used on the 73 as AG presumably don't have any spare double decks for that service.

Also saw 4284 on 11A, 4278 on 11C and 4288 on 11S today. And seemed to be a few B7TL ALX400 buses parked up in the depot entrance as well in the evening peak

AG no longer have any 83X E200 @Stu, 32 is E200 MMC, so think that needs changing on your spreadsheet.
