Changes to the bus routes 202, 335, 386, 436 and 2 new routes.

New 202 (might be controversial): North Greenwich - Crystal Palace
(implied that there will be a new higher capacity bus station at North Greenwich)
Extended via Westcombe Hill, Millennium Leisure Park and Millennium Village - Oval Square.
PVR: +2, frequency and garage kept the same. Yous have already told me it won't do much help because the route is slow, but I personally think the connections should be kept.

Route 335 reroute:
Rerouted from North Greenwich to Royal Standard via Millennium Primary School, Blackwall Lane, Vanbrugh Hill and Westcombe Park Road (to compensate for the lost section of 386 - yes, that section could be done with deckers, I've personally seen the UoG buses going via Vanbrugh Hill).

Route 386 reorganisation: Greenwich (Cutty Sark) - Woolwich (to eliminate how convoluted it is).
New route: Greenwich (Cutty Sark) - Greenwich Station - Greenwich South Street - Blackheath Hill - Greenwich Park - Blackheath Village - Prince of Wales Road - Royal Standard - Old Dover Road... then continues on (seen on image 5).
New PVR: 14

NEW/EXTENDED ROUTE 436: Victoria - Lewisham Shopping Centre
Route: Victoria - Victoria Coach Station - Ebury Bridge Road - Royal Hospital - Chelsea Bridge - Battersea Park - Battersea Power Station - Nine Elms Lane - Vauxhall - Oval - Camberwell - Peckham - New Cross Gate - Lewisham Way - Lewisham.
New length: \~14 km
Garage: stays New Cross (NX)
New PVR: 18 at least
Routes it SIGNIFICANTLY unloads: 36, 44, 136, 185
New purpose of the route: a much more direct alternative to the 185, which goes all the way down to Dulwich, Forest Hill and Catford.
Thus, the route will get a much clearer purpose than it is now - I don't like how it's a mere filler route of 36 and 136 right now. Also, 436 used to go to Victoria once it went to Paddington, but doubling the 436 completely. Now, it offers a different way, serving the Victoria Coach Station.

Now, there will be 2 new bus routes to alleviate the pressure off specific corridors:

Route 1:
- 400 (Camberwell Green - North Greenwich)
- Most likely allocation: Camberwell (Q)
- Length: 11 km
- Most likely PVR: 14
- Purpose: filling important gaps, taking the load off 36, 171, 177 and other New Cross routes.
- Route: Camberwell Green - Peckham - New Cross Gate - New Cross - Deptford Bridge - Deptford Church Street - Creek Road - Cutty Sark - Trafalgar Road - Blackwall Lane - Millennium Primary School - North Greenwich.
- Routes it takes pressure off: 36, 47, 129, 171, 177, 188, 422.

Route 2:
- 477 (Liverpool Street - Woolwich) - I've already offered this one.
- Most likely allocations: Thamesmead (PU) or Plumstead (PD)
- Length: 16 km
- Most likely PVR: 22
- Purpose: filling service gaps, taking pressure off such routes as 1 (along Southwark Park Road), 47 (along Liverpool Street/London Bridge and Surrey Quays/Evelyn Street) and 177 (from Greenwich to Woolwich)
- Numbering: portmanteau of 47 and 177
- Route: Liverpool Street - Monument - London Bridge - Borough - Great Dover Street - Bricklayer's Arms - Grange Road - Southwark Park Road - Galleywall Road - Rotherhithe New Road (Surrey Quays) - Surrey Quays Shopping Centre - Evelyn Street - Creek Road - Greenwich (Cutty Sark) - Trafalgar Road - Woolwich Road - Woolwich Arsenal
- It would be the only daytime route serving Surrey Quays that doesn't serve Canada Water.
- Evelyn Street and Creek Road served by more night buses (N1, 47, 188, N199) than day buses (47, 188, 199) despite not being a central road?
That's why 477 is introduced - it mostly parallels N1 from Grange Road all the way to Woolwich.
- Routes it takes pressure off: 1, 21, 47, 161, 177, 188, 199
- Orpington-Dartford route renumbered 777.

Route 3:
- 489 (Canada Water - Blackheath, Royal Standard)
- Most likely PVR: 12
- Most likely garage: Peckham (PM) - it's got 82 capacity, and with 58 occupancy, there's more than enough space.
- Length: 12 km
- Route: Canada Water - Rotherhithe Police Station - Lower Road, Surrey Quays Station (+ note - it will not serve the shopping centre + station curve due to traffic issues, you can always walk) - Rotherhithe New Road - Old Kent Road - New Cross Road - New Cross Gate - New Cross - Deptford Bridge - Blackheath Road - Lewisham Road - Lewisham Station - Belmont Hill - Blackheath Station - Prince of Wales Road - Stratheden Road - Royal Standard.
- It will take the terminus left by 202.
- Main routes it will alleviate: 53, 89, 108, 199, 381, 453.

And people should shut up about "oh just take a 108/335/422 to North Greenwich and take a Jubilee, what a useless route" - and what about connecting Blackheath to New Cross and beyond?
Trains aren't helpful either - the Windrush line to New Cross (so you could further on change to a Blackheath service) isn't frequent and the trains are expensive.

I think it's bloody lovely. A nutty Stilton funk accompanying that rich beef filling is a 10/10 for me. The streusel (or whatever that's called) on the crust just added up.

Trimmed my long hair into this messy mullet recently. Ended up looking like a mix between 80s and Aussie

(last image is how it used to look like)

Bought 4 chocolate puddings, berry yoghurt, grapes, a tomato, an onion, a bunch of green onions, chicken mince meat, a lavash, a can of mutabbal (eggplant mezze), a pouch of paprika, a box of cucumbers, a stick of butter, some string cheese, a fruit drink, some sour cream, an iced tea, a bottle of water, some vermicelli, a custard bun and some fruit gummies.

I've got a talent for a Glaswegian accent

Ordered it in a grill shop called Tapaka, near Barekamutyun metro. The cheese pull was insane on this thing.

I especially love BX Electroliners

I hope it gets electrified soon since the state of the EHs in NX is so worn-out

Couldn't even be arsed to try this one to be fair.

- Idea: Foots Cray bus garage (RX)

- Operator: Metroline Travel Ltd

- Capacity: ~105 buses

- Routes it could serve: 51 (PVR - 18), 160 (PVR - 13), 233 (PVR - 7), 286 (new PVR - back to 14, please), 321 (PVR - 16), 335 (new PVR - 13, route extended to Sidcup via Sidcup Road, Mottingham and New Eltham), making total PVR of the garage 81 + adding some reserve vehicles, this would be around 91.

- List of routes: 51, 160, 233, 286, 321, 335, 660

- Reasons: since Morden Wharf (MG) garage is about to be substituted with Thamesmead (TD) garage, it would obviously be less convenient for such routes as 51 and especially 286 (deadrun mileage from Greenwich to Thamesmead isn't really convenient).

Route adjustments to be made:

- New Cross bus garage will serve my previously proposed new route 420 (New Cross Gate - Chislehurst, via Lewisham, Hither Green, Sidcup Road, Mottingham and William Barefoot Drive) instead of 321.
- Bus 335 will be rerouted as an express along A2 up until Shooters Hill Road and then will continue to Kidbrooke Park Road with a detour to Kidbrooke Village (it will NOT terminate at Wingfield School, instead - some early-morning and mid-afternoon workings on the route will serve it). Then - it continues on Sidcup Road up until New Eltham and then - to Sidcup.

Both are actually sound

1: Updated bus no. 335 (North Greenwich - Sidcup Station)

- Route: North Greenwich - Millennium Village - IKEA - skips Royal Standard along A2 - Shooters Hill Road/Kidbrooke Park Road - Kidbrooke Park Road - Kidbrooke Station - Kidbrooke Village - Sutcliffe Park - Sidcup Road - Mottingham - Southwood Road - New Eltham - Longlands - Main Road - Station Road - Sidcup Station

- Length: 15 km

- Garage: still Dartford (DT)

- New PVR: 13

- Actions: equip Sidcup Road with new bus stops, reroute 335 away from Wingfield School, deck B16 in exchange (double deckers are quite common on this route)

- Why so: there is only service between Kidbrooke and Sidcup (286), and it goes via Eltham and Avery Hill, not stepping into Kidbrooke Village, despite Kidbrooke Park Road literally turning into Sidcup Road after crossing Eltham Road. Let alone no service between North Greenwich and Sidcup. Many southeastern bus routes are quite long themselves. Besides, the route 335 was meant to be express initially.

2: New route 420 (New Cross Gate (Sainsbury’s) - Chislehurst War Memorial)

- Route: New Cross Gate - Lewisham Way - Lewisham Station - Lewisham Station - Lewisham Centre - Hither Green Lane - St Mildred’s Road - Westhorne Avenue - Sidcup Road (finally, a bus route that serves this road!) - Mottingham Station - Fiveways - William Barefoot Drive - White Horse Hill - Red Hill - Chislehurst

- Length: 14 km

- Most likely garages: Catford (TL) or New Cross (NX)

- Likely PVR: 12

- Why so: only route to serve between Lewisham and Chislehurst is 273, and it’s an extremely convoluted hail & ride route served by low-frequency single door single deckers. Hither Green Lane and William Barefoot Drive are currently only served by 181/225 and 314 respectively, which are all single-deck routes. Sidcup Road hasn’t got any bus service despite it only turning into an expressway after Fiveways Junction. It’s even got pedestrian crossings, so why not equipping it with some bus stops along it?

3: New route 457 (Brixton - Elmers End)

- Route: Brixton - Brixton Hill - Streatham Hill Station - Leigham Court Road (!!!) - Crown Point - Beulah Hill - South Norwood Hill - Norwood Junction - Portland Road - Long Lane - Elmers End

- Length: 13 km

- Most likely garage: Norwood (N)

- Likely PVR: 14

- Purpose: add a missing connection, relieve the route 417 (since it gets crowded on Leigham Court Road), give Brixton and Norwood Junction another connection than just 196

I'm the same Russian guy before currently doing my research on accents from different videos.

Long story short: it's about "like that" turning into something akin to "la'a" (don't know how to write it) in quick speech. I have particularly noticed this feature in Limmy's Show and some prison podcasts.
