Sutton Croydon done

absolutely definitely Purley in December 2019, zero doubts at all
disasters before November

Routes 439/S2 tender awards delayed back to coincide with other Sutton routes rather than being awarded not long ago around July wasn't suspicious per se as it was a sign of some change of plan in the consultation. Boy oh boy is there changes.

Sutton in 2009

Sutton

The people of Cheam and Ewell receive an uplift in service from every 30 but no Sunday service to every 20 plus a Sunday service, except it's no longer called 470 but will be S2, and won't go further than St. Helier. Whilst 470 was undoubtedly indirect to Morden (for the Northern Line) let alone Colliers Wood which it's the only route to link to from the areas it serves for now.

The S4 I'm surprised but equally not impressed that it was changed. From a perfect split with S2/S4 both terminating in Belmont to S4 being truncated west of Sutton but keeping it's eastern extension to Waddon Marsh it largely retains it's original routeing.

Vendetta against Short Workings

yo dawg I heard you liked speed lines

All of a sudden the thought was raised; instead of wholesale frequency cuts, shorten the offending Central sections on part-frequency. So my thought process from that became: "how would it look like?" Through maths and numbers, trying to deliver similar PVR cuts through the technique of short workings.

The frequency cuts we had in the end of August on the 28th and continuing on with September for 59/253/254 and 13 yet to come along with other potential victims. How would these sometimes drastic but reversible frequency cuts could've looked, had the capacity in outer London and apparently irrelevant inner London not be sacrificed for the woes of hard-hit Central London?

Better the Network 1.2, since it's an addendum not meant to be included in this series.
