I'm planning a day trip around London for some Cambridge students who may
not know it well. I'm trying to work out an itinerary for early December,
either Friday 5th or Saturday 6th. I've got an initial list of places or
feature to visit or pass through:

DLR
Overground, inc East London, Crystal Palace
Tramlink
Woolwich ferry
New Routemaster
Old Routemaster, H15 or H9

There's a specific reason for including Crystal Palace. Anyone see anything
or anywhere worthwhile I'm overlooking?


The RV1 bus it is Hydrogen powered.


Following your suggestion, I had a go on it today. It's not as quiet
as I expected, presumably because of the various fans and the gearbox.
Even when stationary in traffic, you can hear stuff whirring away. And
they certainly want to make quite sure you know how it's powered!
