Not what Khan said, he made a decision that they were too expensive to buy, and there were cheaper better options to add to the fleet. Nothing about scrapping them.Dansk_Red said:
Those are Boris Buses that the mayor said were not fit for purpose and wanted to scrap them as they were too expensive to operate.clive said:
all the superloops so far are seeing higher then expected ridership0 -
I thought we were a club of trainspotters. Have we sunk so low as to be into buses?

Lived there on and off from ‘64 to ‘70 or ‘71. Happy days!golfaddick said:Hoping to move to Bromley in a couple of months. Sundridge Park area
Have a vague memory of catching a bus from Burnt Ash Lane to Trafalgar Square with my friend who lived next door.0 -
What a novel approach. Having less stops so the journey is quicker. What next.....having no stops to make it even quicker still.clive said:

Why are they calling them Routemasters?

5 months in and I still can’t work a ‘on a ragga tip’ comment into the thread.1

One of the proposed new bus routes is to be from Grove Park to Canary Wharf.0

The SL3 bus route will commence on Saturday 24th Feb Between Bromley & Thamesmead, timetable link below.
https://tfl.gov.uk/bus/timetable/sl3/
This route also now appears on https://tfl.gov.uk/plan-a-journey/
This new route may be handy for any fans who live in Sidcup, Bexleyheath & Thamesmead to link with trains from Abbey Wood to Charlton & the return journey especially next Saturday's match versus Portsmouth.

Would suggest the "BJ route" but I think that particular moniker already belonged to the N47 in the late 90s if my observations from trips home from the West end and The Venue in the early hours are anything to go on.10 -

As a Charlton fan you should be ashamed not to know that they already do this with trainsgolfaddick said:

Oh....thats called a CAR !!! . I will explain to save you further embarressment, they are called "express trains" and even though they pass them, they don't pull up at every stop on the line, because there are some places that more people want to get on and off at than others. This is the same principal only using buses...

Yes, a bit like a car in terms of the speed of travel, but without the need to actually buy a car, insure the car, fill the car with fuel, worry about where to park the car, etc.golfaddick said:

You can almost feel the desperation in Bromley to try and make them a little bit more edgier, oooh please link us with Thamesmead and we can say we’re at ‘the ends’’ of the line , it’s so tragic their lack of identity.7

There'll be no money left for buses after a few pints in The Crown mategolfaddick said:Hoping to move to Bromley in a couple of months. Sundridge Park area so not far from Bromley North......although not sure I'd want to go to Thamesmead thank you. Buses to Sidcup & B'heath are useful though.0 -
