So its available from this Sunday?

For something thats coming in three days time all the normal LT
websites
seem strangly silent on the issue.

Paul Corfield said that an LU internal memo also said this Sunday; at
hustings on Tuesday, Ken Livingstone said "within the next two to three
weeks" and that advertising was being prepared now. I'm crossing my
fingers for Sunday and putting off buying the next book of Saver
tickets.


Yes I did and the travel information weekly bulletin also confirms that
it starts on Sunday on all TfL bus routes.

On bendy buses you must board via the front door if using pre-pay.

Pre-pay will not be valid on the following cross boundary / commercial
routes - Arriva 8, 218, 310, 311, 350, 351, 402, 409, 471, 477, 500,
514, 515, 614, 750, 751, 805.

Route 8 that runs through Mayfair? And if so, why?

No. Arriva Route 8 that runs from Watford to Northwood and Mount Vernon.
