Just seen this mentioned on the DD forum - a poster there has noticed
that the unofficial (but rather well informed) "London Bus Routes"
website shows that the ELC rail replacement bus service - the route
that runs from New Cross Gate via New Cross and Rotherhithe stations
to Canada Water and v.v. - is supposedly being discontinued from 26
September, see:
http://www.londonbusroutes.net/changes.htm#151
Eh?! Some mistake, surely? The extended East London Line isn't going
to open until some time next year (the most optimistic estimates were
for December this year, but that now seems unlikely) - to withdraw the
ELC bus service now would be rather premature, to say the least.
Another possible explanation. 15th September sees the formal legal transfer
of the line away from LU to London Rail. SI 2009 - 2168.
Perhaps LU have transferred the problem to LR, who have a completely
different replacement bus policy?
