CroySutton

The reckoning

 As if the consultation on 414 wasn't enough (cutting it from Maida Hill to Marble Arch as two every 7-8 services is overkill, their words not mine). May or may not have poked at it. The Croydon and Sutton review came just days after. I'm here after my long AFK playing and doing calculations for the 414 and now I have returned with calcs to show you, the Croydon & Sutton changes (at the bottom).

Also also, the consultation on 428 getting cut back from Bluewater to Crayford (and conversion to double deck) and 492 cut back from Bluewater to Dartford has been reversed, with 428's double decking going ahead. All's well that ends well...?

Behind: Legend of 2, and more

I have slept on this since uploading the video, as well as not writing in a while thanks to my extended lazy trait, as well as barely replying to comments but now I'm returning my interest to writing. In any case, I'll extend this from the video format into more of a talking slideshow.

That was several of hours of working on the map and several hours of research data piling from London Bus Routes by Ian Armstrong.

2019 ULEZ Diesel Workings

Since you've probably read my previous post, there's not much in the way of changes that can be covered during quarantine, unless you're local to the issue, in which case, don't jump like moths into the flames. You and I being advised to stay in unless necessary, could be droning but so is being told to not finger your nose.

I may already be losing sanity, so to keep myself and yourself as you're reading this to some form of check, I've already listed ahead of time some workings that broke, or nearly broke into the indisputable holy Ultra Low Emission Zone where only hybrids may tread in TfL service, in Central London this was applied in April of 2019. It's April 2020 now and it feels like it's been 84 years.

Hydrogen History

Since we're in lockdown and I have nothing better to do in my already-introvert life, I decided to humor those of you who are usually more extrovert, that is to say, read this to pass the time in your life of probable-eternal-boredom.

Year Recap 2019 - Rewind 2019

Definitely not the same title as YouTube's one. Which was trash, going off by last year's one. Don't need to see it to know it's bad. Like Tower Transit in general.
   December postscript edit: It wasn't even a rewind at all.
Last year I had a quote, this time you can hear me out on this.

New year. Same stuff.

London's not newest bus route

DW488 (LJ61CAU) displaying possible future extensions

Woolwich, Nathan Way, Thamesmead, Abbey Wood, New Road*, Brampton Road, Long Lane, Thamesmead.

The 301.
It's title as newest has been dethroned several times since I last typed this up in July.

West London's Transit

I've mentioned in my previous post a 2019 round up is due, so to make the post readable yet compact, I've transferred one of the long paragraphs into here. Beforehand, hope you're enjoying your holidays for Christmas and the New Year, with that, hope you enjoy the short read and stay safe.

Devil's Descendant Discombobulated

ADH45048 (YX62FTP), Acton Old Town Hall
The 266 we know now is less than what it was, now in TfL's eyes it is more reliable and without doubt in the all-so-holy Crossrail works near Acton Main Line on Horn Lane, Cricklewood (W) proved less capable than Park Royal (RP), minus the obvious unfair differences.
