Saw some route 12 buses were the bendy types today.. didn't see them a
couple of days earlier.

Yes, I got an email from TfL about this last week:

"Route 12 will be changing from Saturday 6 November 2004 when new, modern
Bendy buses will replace the existing Routemasters. The buses will now
operate between Oxford Circus and Dulwich only. If you wish to travel on to
Notting Hill Gate, the route 94 and 390 have been extended to run from
Marble Arch. Marble Arch to Notting Hill Gate is also served by the 148,
which will now be running more often."

And the above goes to show that TfL know little about their own bus
network.

Route 94 has run down the Bayswater Road beyond Marble Arch for years
and years since taking over from the 88. The only problem is that the 94
is so full by the time it reaches Notting Hill Gate that you cannot get
on it. Route 390 is the only route that has been extended to cover for
the 12. It is correct that the 148 is being enhanced in frequency as it
offers a non Oxford St link from south London to the Bayswater Rd area
and parallels quite a lot of the 12.
