and lastly (but first shots from the day), the Victoria line was closed north of Seven Sisters and some rail replacement services are operating, Metroline running a 558 between Seven Sisters and Chingford Mount and routes A & B between Walthamstow Central & Straford/Seven Sisters respectively, run by Sullivan Buses, Redbridge Transport and a few other operators

Plus Arriva London trainer DLA1 was also seen at Seven Sisters https://www.flickr.com/photos/dmc1947/20...otostream/

Overall a very enjoyable & interesting day!

Borismaster LT 472 now back on the road, which I've seen on LondonVF website. LT 472 on route 73 today.

Are they any better than the Mercedes artics? I suspect not. Will they see more service? Probably, but only because none of them will ever see service outside of Borisland.

I noted WVL 124 in use in Dublin on Friday Saturday and Sunday it's now a Shuttle bus in a vile Purple livery for Premier Inn

The transport manager of the company who owns WVL124 has told me that it's a vinyl and not a livery. I personally think it looks very smart

RE: London Bus Scene
Yea Sorry it is a Vinyl and we shall just have to disagree on that exterior as much as Purple is associated with Premier Inn it looks quite cheap on a Gemini especially when the competitors shuttle buses seemed much classier (Hilton,Clayton etc)

Apparently there was a three bus crash in Parliament Sq on Monday. Two buses identified are LT142 & LT504. Not identified the third one yet.

I've seen the third buses on picture, I don't think so not crashed but maybe knocked the front near side mirror to LT504 on rear?? Not serious damaged but may be small or nothing?
