From the London Group

BUS NEWS - Week 22/06/13

Members are reminded that this info is published in good faith and from available information. Last minute changes sometimes occur, especially when external factors have an influence.

First London exits TfL Bus Operations

Routes 9 (heritage) 23, 25, 26, 28, 30, 31, 58, 70, 236, 266, 295, 308, 328, 339, RV1, W14, W15, N26, N28 & N31 transferred from First to Tower Transit. Atlas Road Garage [AS], Lea Interchange Garage [LI] and Westbourne Park Garage [X]transfer to Tower Transit with the routes. No changes to any timetables, except route 58 (see Service Changes).

Routes 18, 83, 92, 95, 187, 195, 206, 207, 223, 224, 226, 228, 245, 282, 331, 427, 487, 607, A10, E1, E3, E5, E7, E9, E10, U1, U2, U3, U4, U5, U10, N18 & N207 transferred from First to Metroline. Alperton Garage [ON], Greenford Garage [G], Hayes Garage [HS], Uxbridge Garage [UX] and Willesden Junction Garage [WJ] transfer to Metroline with the routes. No changes to any timetables.

Routes 193, 368, 498, 608, 646, 648, 652, 656, 667, 679 & 686 transferred from First to Blue Triangle at Rainham Garage [BE]. No changes to any timetables.

In addition, the buses required to run these routes will also transfer to the new operators. Details in LOTS TLB - June (No.586) & July (No.587) editions.

Meanwhile routes 165, 252 & 365 remain with First and will be operated from Dagenham Garage [DM] until their contracts expire after their last day of operation on 27/09/13, when these routes transfer to Stagecoach. Route 179 will also remain with First and will be operated from Dagenham Garage [DM] until the contract expires after the last day of operation on 18/10/13, when this route then transfers to Stagecoach.

It is understood that on Friday night 21/06/13, all the O-Discs on buses at First Garages will be replaced. The garages that Tower Transit are taking over are to receive O-Disks in the name of "Centrewest No 1 Ltd" and those transferring to Metroline will receive O-Disks in the name of "Centrewest No 2 Ltd". On Saturday night 22/06/13, when the temporary company names have been renamed, these O-Disks will be removed and "Tower Transit" O-Disks will replace "Centrewest No 1 Ltd" O-Disks and "Metroline West Ltd" O-Disks will replace "Centrewest No 2 Ltd" O-Disks.

Updated Information

[Arriva London]
DW547 - LJ13CFL - now in service on routes from Tottenham Garage [AR].
HV93 - LJ13FCO - now in service on route 29 from Wood Green Garage [WN].
HV94 - LJ13FCP - now in service on route 29 from Wood Green Garage [WN].
HV95 - LJ13FCU - now in service on route 29 from Wood Green Garage [WN].
HV131 - LJ13FET - now in service on route 29 from Wood Green Garage [WN].

[Metroline]
TEH1459 - LK13BHE - now in service on routes from Cricklewood Garage [W]. This is the last of the batch (TEH1449-TE1467) to enter service.

[Stagecoach Selkent]
Still no sign in service, for the one new E20D Enviro 200 delivered to augment the existing fleet single deckers on the new contract for route 386 from Plumstead Garage [PD], which commenced on 01/06/13.

36555 - LX13CYW - body no. D204/1

Service Changes - 22/06/13
(excluding diversions for roadworks)

Route 20 [London General] - Operation transferred from Blue Triangle (Go Ahead London) to London General (Go Ahead London) at Northumberland Park Garage [NP]. No change to timetable.

Route 24 [Metroline - HT] - Converted to H40/22T "New Bus for London" operation. UW 12640 kgs. No change to the timetable. Due to the overlap between the Friday night duties and the Saturday daytime duties, on Saturday 22nd June only, the first NB4L journeys will be HT414 from Hampstead Heath at 06:56 and 07:45 from Pimlico. Due to late delivery, not all the new LTs will initially be available for service, so the five VWH hybrid buses currently running on route 24 will be retained in case they are needed as spares. However, there should be enough new LT buses to run the full on-the-road allocation, the last of which (LT18) was delivered mid week. The registration numbers were affixed mid-week, but were incorrectly spaced (e.g. LTZI 000) and had to be remade and refitted (e.g. LTZ I000). Hopefully iBus & Countdown have been updated correctly, so that the new buses can be found using the "London Vehicle Finder" and temporary vehicle identities like "MLNEWxxx" are not returned from the outset.
