I'm sorry this post is late, I did this day on 20/02/15! I just had to post something about it! The day started off by getting the C2C from Upminster to Limehouse, where I caught the DLR:
After a fairly long trip to Cutty Sark, I went to the first stop of the 286 (Near the Cutty Sark) and caught the fairly new bus for the first time! I have been wanting to go on this bus for a bit; so I took lots of photos. Here are the best ones:
The bus towards Greenwich
The fleet number
The numberplate
The rear of YY14 WDX
The bus towards Sidcup
The Nearside of the bus
The Go-Ahead London (London Central) logo.
Looking down the bus
The interior, facing forwards
Embarrassing!!! The top of the board is always cut off on these Go-Ahead Enviro 200s!
Four bells (and two in the background!) an amazing opportunity for a great shot!
I caught this bus to Blackheath, Royal Standard then got an odd working on route 202:
This one's blurry!
This one's been obscured.
I also took some photos of other buses coming to the bus stop.
Back to the bus I got on:
Another obstruction, GRRRR!!! I hate it when there's a person in the way!
The side of the bus.
Then I got on it and took some pictures of other buses coming the other way:
The other one of those on the 202 that day.
The sole 181 odd working.
On arrival in Catford, I went to Costa Coffee to get a takeaway drink. The 181 was the next bus I got on:
Below are some buses heading in the opposite direction:
Odd Working!
Another Odd Working!
LX58 CBU Looking like it's ready to fly!
My bus, at the Grove Park Terminus.
After that, there was a 25 minute wait for the 273, which is meant to run every 20 minutes! The bus was late, so I decided to pop into Sainsbury's and get a red nose!
I took some shots at the bus stop:
I was beginning to wonder if I was at the right bus stop!
But finally, it came!
As mentioned earlier, it was late, so curtailed! GRRR!!
After only ten minutes (It should've been twenty) another bus came:
Now the 273 again!
I got off at a retail park.
Some buses along the route:
This bus had its hazards on!
Blurry R3!
My bus again!
The bus on the stand.
The first stop, where I got on (and off!)
Green Street Green Bus Garage?
Below are just a few of the cars the bus had to pass!
Back round the circle to Green Street Green (It says it on the ibus!)
An R7 through the window:
The bus with the board set to Orpington Station, and ready to do the R5
Then, I got the Southeastern to Charing Cross
Now, by far the best bit of this journey was the R10; my next bus. Before I caught it around in a full circle, my favourite route was route 347, however now it is the R10. I love the way the bus has to squeeze down the tight country lanes and all of the lovely scenery! So, here are some pictures of the journey:
Below are just a few of the cars the bus had to pass!
The driver kindly let me go in the cab!
Finally, I walked to the London Transport Museum and went home.
I hope you enjoyed this post and looked at all of it!
