Nic Basher - Do you mean reduce the 176 service or cut it altogether?

Is this definite? How do you know?

Nothing on the services page

there's this in November

Contract awarded to London Central with 24 new hybrid double deckers. Temporary timetable withdrawn and new timetable to improve reliability following changes to road layouts and introduction of 20mph speed limits along the route, with Monday to Saturday daytime service reduced to every 10 minutes. (130317)

I have it on good authority that the service will be cut in June using the existing buses, then the new buses come in as part of the new tender in November.
