Sent TfL an email to clarify the situation after you messaged me. Just got a reply from them. Confirmed that the frequency has decreased during the day Monday to Saturday. I would not be surprised if this route is split into two in future because of its meandering route.

What a mess...ha ha!! Not surprising though.

Might have to drop them a line to see what the real situation will be come Saturday & beyond.

Marvellous survivor & pleasing to see. Oh for that extension though. Ruins the curvature of that marvellous window....

Second stabbing in two consecutive days now; the other yesterday just up the road near Shooters Hill College, that young lad still fighting for his life. To do that on a bus is just unimaginable, horrific.
