You really are posting some rubbish tonight

the 159 will run from QB its been confirmed by the schedules department at Abellio, its Beddington BC which is being rebuilt. QB does have plenty of space as far as I know coaches are only allowed during day bit able allowed at night with extra fees, Tony when you at QB next can  you PM me a list of the RM TA DARTS E200 and stuff stored their ? its all owned by Abellio bar the RMs. most those buses stored at waiting sale etc the TA see used on RR work as do the green bus TA darts are just stored.

BN is a joke, it was worse then the 109 was their, BN dont have the space for half their buses, Half are put into the old tram shed and ten of the 59s are parked at Norwood with some buses out on the N109/N159, the garage now is generally full so godknows what they did with when the 109 was their , when the 159 goes the 133/417 will move to BN Ive been told.

Im sure WA have the same issue with their run in but they have quite a long road for the run in, WA has loads of buses in between 1800-2100 - more then half the WA PVR is in by 2100 hours very interesting

Yes the 159 going should free up some space at BN, Brixton Hill is used as an outstation for the 59 & 319, presunably because they now use HVs although Norwood still provides 10 vehicles for the 59  Monday to Friday.

Stu is 109s 159s 137s which run out the tram shed aswell, once TFL FOI get their act togeather about the WTTS you can see what exact run nos are from N and BN TRAM SHED mate

A reminder that there is a stile on the DLR tomorrow & Wednesday.

Extra buses will operate on routes D8, 115, 474, 277, D7, 147 & 473 during both rush hours.

Of interest, one routemaster will operate on route 115 and 6 Routemasters are booked to operate on the 277.

[Stuharris 6360]

GoAhead operated a special Routemaster on route 37 today to mark the centenary anniversary of the first female bus conductor (who worked on the 37)!

Interesting design. Not the best if i'm honest - the bodywork reminds me a LOT of the 12M Duple-Metsec bodied Dennis Trident, whereas the rear's upper window is reminiscent of the Asia Pacific version of the E400...

Yes, not quite my cup of tea either.

Metroline are to trial 5 of them on the 6 and 98.

I wouldn't say it's the best but it's better looking then all the crap that keeps appearing on the road nowadays.

[domino.99]

I'm sorry but that is bloody ugly

[Dutsey]

I personally quite like this.

I think the BYD double decker has pushed bus design back by 30 years. I can imagine just how people felt when the DMS was introduced afters years of curves and stylish designs.
