So non-school people can use school buses in London?

From the picture, it's not actually a school bus as such, just an
ordinary double-decker bus deployed to a route aimed mainly at school
kids.

If a bus has a "number" from the local fare stage operator, I don't see
why not.

On the other hand, outside London they are often privately run by other
companies, with specific termly season tickets.

They are usually open to the public so BSOG can be claimed (typically a
cash fare is paid by a member of the public using one). Whether the
public would want to go within 100 miles of them is quite another
question.

Not again. You must be the same person who commented on my Flickr account about this route. I have at least 2 photos of the route in service when it was run by CT Plus. There is nothing suspicious about the route. The route is now run by London General and uses the same bus and driver each day - I've seen it several times and even used it once as it came along to a stop first.

There are no issues with photographing school services in London. I have many photos of school buses taken without any great issue other than a cheeky remark from a school kid in Kingsbury and he was wrong in what he said.

Now perhaps you can stop the paranoia and ridiculous queries about the 675 bus?

hich is what a school bus is in London (and I think UK) We don't have
the silly waste of separate school buses that the US have. Although that
does mean that some of ours are not very good buses.

Those US school buses look like they were designed in the 1940s to me. Is
there some reason they can't use a modern bus but have to use some archaic
throwbacks?

They also have more modern ones, but I suppose the old ones last for a very
long time. They don't do a high mileage, after all.

Well they seem to keep replacing them with similar models - older ones
seem to end up as low-cost transport in central American countries such
as Guatemala.
