What articles have you noticed have been in the news/on various forums that have been proven to be April Fools jokes this year?
I've seen:
On here there has been the "cancellation" of the 126 service, first "registering" the 67/57/57/68 redditch plus one other one...

One fron London Transport Forum
"In shock news, routes 29, 38, 73, 121, 329, 382 and W6 have been won on tender by Metroline to be operated by PB. In response to concerns that the town, let alone, the depot, was insufficient to house the buses, a spokesman said that the buses would be parked overnight at the Hatfield Galleria multi-storey car par, though until the necessary works had been done double deckers would have to be parked on the hard shoulder of the M25.
A special bus lane will be built in Cockfosters Road for the use of out-of-service buses only."
