    Stagecoach South West - Fleet News & Discussion

    317 has had break downs and a double decker has substituted on 2 days recently. Were Giffard is omitted due to the low bridge, but it was not even mentioned on Twitter or the Stagecoach website. There was also a diversion due to road resurfacing at Merton. 317 ran to the back of Dolton then 5b...

    Your all-time favourite bus trip (and why?). Reports welcome

    Fantastic trip, please do give us some pictures, of course you were well outside LT, LCBS had taken over the green empire in 1970. I might have stayed on the 712 all the way to Dorking, RFs working on coaches were always a joy.

    Did anyone ever catch a XC service from Kensington Olympia?

    I remember vividly being told at Folkestone Central (waiting for the return Liverpool to appear) that it was "not one of ours" and was "operated by a different company" - in about 1991.

    When we had platform staff and attended stations was not suicide prevention something that was done automatically. These security persons could carry a broom or paintbrush, answer a few general inquiries or even tend a station garden or cat, all this would make the security operative more...

    London Underground stations that have suffered the most unsympathetic changes?

    Certainly agree about Rayners Lane, its disrespect to the original and makes half the passengers walk further, something I would grudge every single day, how they got away with it in a listed building is unfathomable. Same line Uxbridge has suffered many "improvements" the worst of which was...
