Other News:

Route 335/N335 - double decker workings will stop on these routes when the new gas buses arrive, but Route 335D run by London OmniBus will continue. Route N335 will also be withdrawn between Harrow Weald and Watford Junction. Alternative to Watford from Harrow is N114 to Burnt Oak then N142 to Watford. This is under consultation, and is due to a lack of use.

Route N205 will be extended via Walthamstow to Loughton from Leyton.

Route 471 will go to full L1/Romford Buses operation when the 1 is taken up by New Citybus due to the 471's buses being needed for the 1. The 471 is therefore to end the sub-contracting when the 1 is taken up, until all the new buses arrive for New Citybus to take over.

Route N69 will be withdrawn between Barnet Church and Potters Bar, being replaced by an N20 extension to Potters Bar. This change will occur on 6th November 2015.

Route 368 will have a double decker conversion due to operator choice, subject to consultation. This is due to it being part of a joint bid with 25 and 26 with ordering of buses from one batch.
