There was I thinking I'd seen my last Friday evening RMs as I cycled up
Whitehall about 18:45 tonight when I chanced to pass not one but two
159s, with passengers, in Charing Cross Road by Leicester Square station.

I'm used to seeing 38s off route in Shaftesbury Avenue, both in RM days
and even tonight after passing one bendy blocking the Cambridge Circus
junction while actually on its route.

So why were the 159s there? Shaftesbury Avenue isn't that far off-route
for a 38.

Ah! Thanks. Doesn't explain the regular 38 diversions via Shaftesbury
Avenue, though.
