I finally covered what I promised to myself, one of the South West Trains rail replacement extras on the 77 due to the closure of a few platforms at Waterloo Station.
As of now the 77 has a Peak Vehicle Requirement of 33 than it's usually peak 18, this is aided by WVNs released from 259 originally intended for the 131 but these are now headed for River Road (RR) for the 5, from what I heard.
I must say it's a change seeing and boarding a First-interior bus in these ends, last one I had was an SEN on the 39 but before that was TNLs on the 57 as iBus floats.
