A black youth in south London shouldn't be hard to find. Thankfully, we don't have such antisocial behaviour in our white working-class ghettos. Oh, hang on... The culprit's race and colour are irrelevant.

stagecoach East London have lost the tender for routes 5 15/N15 and 115 to Blue Triangle. The PVR for the routes is 75 which is a massive amount of buses to lose.

This will indeed be. Route 15 will be the first LT-operated route to have its LTs switch from one operator to another.

Another big tender loss is Route 18 (Euston Station-Sudbury) from Metroline West to London United. This has a PVR of 44 and is operated from Willesden Junction Depot.

RE: London Bus Scene
In the latest round of tendering Arriva London have lost routes 142, 258 and 642 to London Sovereign. These changes will take place at the beginning of 2018. All of these are currently operated from Arrivas Garston (Watford) garage which will lose 29 buses and a lot of jobs. As London Sovereign intend to operate the routes from Edgeware (142/642) and Harrow Weald (258) a number of drivers will probably not wish to travel such distances to work and will either retire or be made redundant if jobs cannot be found locally by Arriva.
Route 142 was one of the first routes to be tendered in 1986 and has been held by Arriva since then.

TUPE protects Arriva from having to make people redundant .... any surplus driver not required will transfer with the route. Though if they don't like it, but theit conditions and roles are protected.
