Bendy bus off course
Saw a bendy bus heading west on the A14 near Kettering yesterday,
showing 149 Euston Station. LT red, but it didn't look as though it had any insignia on the side. What would it be doing? On another matter, there are quite a number of RMs doing sight- seeing tours at Niagara Falls ON. Look in good condition, in LT livery, with London destination blinds (one had "Rail Replacement Service", another had a final-destination blind in the via box, so a series of destinations shown). But they didn't have their numbers on: anyone know which they are? -- Peter Beale |

Still, there's inflation for you! The 253 used to always come in bunches of seven. I was told this by someone, and I experienced it myself. Given that the old 253 was effectively two overlapping routes, this isn't too surprising, although 6 might be more expected. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.

If it was the 73, I should have expected to see three of them! :-) Nah, 73s come in bunches of five... well they won't in future. It will be horrible in future. I'm sure they were mostly Routemasters yesterday. but only until 3rd September this year. Enjoy them while you can. -- Paul C Admits to working for London Underground! |

Former British Reg No :- BSL161, LSJ872, JSJ767 Those are all "age-related" numbers issued fairly recently, and I've also seen SSL850 on one in Oxford Street. (I've got an old VeloSolex moped registered a very few digits later than that, first issued by Stanmore LVLO in 2001) Where did these buses come from? Why did they have to be re-registered? Considering there has to be proof of identity to get an age-related registration, how come these buses didn't get their old numbers back? Was it as simple as the old numbers got sold off as "cherished" spit plates? |
