(10 Jan 2024, 11:58 am)Storx Must say never seem any problems in a car, quite often go from Morrison's to Sainsbury's when around there. Guessing the problem is Silksworth Lane is too narrow for a bus?

You can get a bus and a car through the higlighted section here, but only if both go right to the edge of the road - there's a few times I've taken a bus through and had to mount the kerb because the car doesn't get over to the left far enough (or the car is simply too big)

Aye that makes sense, could see the issue now especially with the high curb aswell which would a nice scrape along the side of the bus and some angry depot staff.

A bus takes up more than half the road. Will have to arrange a photo of a bus on it sometime.

Ah don't worry, I know the road well. Know the exact part. Now talking about it, believe we've passed a bin wagon along that bit before actually and it was tight.

Used to do it in a Solo quite a bit when I first started at Deptford, running light to Silksworth or Doxy, now I much prefer just taking slightly longer ways there then even bothering with the pain of that road.

There is (or at least was) a redundant bus stop on that stretch of road. Not sure when it was last used though. Think Stagecoach briefly ran the 13 that way in the 1990s.

What is the new PVR for the 20/65 and the X20?

Will all the B5's be allocated to the X20?

It was the same when the wall collapsed just on the bend and the 35A was diverted this way .....safe to say other drivers moved out the way when they had a citaro flying along there. Hopefully with the new housing estate being built in the area there might be a chance for a service to be extended along that road since the nearest stops that are served during the day is the Vicarage or Gilly Law

I have PVR's as X1 - 12, X21 - 8, X20 - 6, so by all means 6308-6314 for X20, 6356-6363 for X1 and 6364-6375 for X1 would work. I have Washington down as having 6332/33/62/63/76 as spare atm - not sure they need all of them.

Or Maybe the X21 is going to become light green x-lines to complement the Angel, saves repainting the Streetdecks.

And the X20 will become blue X-Lines. There we go, save money on not needing to paint them and all they have to pay for some new stickers.

If it’s complementing the Angel of late then road stripes all round!
