Running Day on H15 in November...

I understand that this has been cancelled. Any idea why ? Thanks.

Re: Running Day on H15 in November...

I hear on the Grapevine that the much predicted (and denied) view that the overhaul and retention of the Heritage service is now to be reduced and rendered unviable.

There is a consultation of sorts to reduce the service further and render it a waste of time.

It will be the end of RM operation and it is hoped to be done quietly.

I'm sure several regular contributors know far more than I do being somewhat distant from the UK.

Anything to do with a certain Mr H's departure from tfl - ie new broom coming in ?

My bus number (if any): RML 2747

Re: Running Day on H15 in November...

How can this be when stagecoach retained the contract for 5 years and the first one is being done up at hants and dorest

Anyone from tfl can confirm this ?

My bus number (if any): LT60 and rm1562

Re: Running Day on H15 in November...

Good morning,

I think Jacks response is mere hearsay. Stagecoach London have indeed retained the contract for a further 5 years and the refresh of the fleet has commenced at Hants & Dorset Trim.

I would suspect that the running day has been cancelled due to other factors.

cheers
