Tower Transit's latest gains.

It has been announced that the 172 is passing to Tower Transit from their Lea Interchange (LI) garage with an extension to Bethnal Green. The current Trident/ALX400s will be replaced by Optare Metrodecker diesels with a reduced PVR of 3. Routes 68, 468, N68 and X68 are passing to Westbourne Park (X) with 54 New Routemasters. Route 453 will also go to TT on the date of its conversion, the PVR is unchanged and the route will go to a new garage in South Bermondsey, which has also won route 225 using a single 7.1m Optare Solo Slimline. and a new 2-hourly frequency, adopted due to the success of route 347 running with the same frequency.

All these changes are scheduled to happen on the 28th of February 2015.

In a small bit of news for the current blog, LB67 has been downgraded to author status permanently for abandoning the blog. Also, this is a joke other than the bit about LB67 being demoted.
