London bus pictures (214): NEW VIDEO - Go-Ahead London's Oldest Buses! https://youtu.be/yTD8HhDuh2w?si=zpyPW... 1) A wrapped New Routemaster on the 137 at The Pavement, Clapham Common. 2) An Enviro400 City EV on the 65 at the main entrance to Kew Gardens. The 65 passes through many scenic places and this is one of them. 3) A New Routemaster on the 5 around Becontree Heath. 4) A StreetDeck Electroliner on the 133 around Streatham Hill. 5) An Enviro400 MMC hybrid on the 88 at Nelson's Row, Clapham Common. 6) A Gemini 3 hybrid on the 423 in Hounslow town centre. 7) A little throwback to when Stagecoach operated the 96. An Enviro400 at Darent Valley Hospital, Dartford. 8) A StreetDeck Electroliner on the 263 around Whetstone, The Griffin. 9) A Gemini 3 hybrid on the 81 at its first stop at Hounslow, School Road.
Routes featured: 137 - Marble Arch to Streatham Hill, Telford Avenue 65 - Ealing Broadway to Kingston 5 - Romford Market to Canning Town 133 - Holborn, Red Lion Square to Streatham Station 88 - Parliament Hill Fields to Clapham Common 423 - Heathrow Terminal 5 to Hounslow Bus Station 96 - Woolwich to Bluewater 263 - Barnet Hospital to Highbury Barn 81 - Slough to Hounslow Bus Station
A few night bus pictures from today: 1) A New Routemaster on the N11 at Fulham Broadway. 2-5) An MCV EvoSeti on the 295's 24-hour service. This route is strictly electric during the day, but just like the 23 it uses spare hybrids from Westbourne Park (X) during the night. It's a nice reminder of when RATP first took over from Metroline on the 295 using a mix of Gemini 2 hybrids and Gemini 3s. 6) The last 28s of the day passing each other in Westbourne Park. 7) The third last 27 of the day on the Euston Road. 8) The interior of an Enviro200 MMC on the N72 around Hammersmith.
Routes featured: N11 - Whitehall, Horse Guards to Ealing Broadway 295 - Ladbroke Grove, Sainsbury's to Clapham Junction 28 - Kensal Rise to Wandsworth 27 - Chalk Farm to Hammersmith Grove N72 - East Acton to Roehampton, Danebury Avenue
London bus pictures (213): 1) A Mercedes Benz Citaro K on the 117 at its terminus at Staines Bus Station. As everyone knows, this route uses TfL's last Citaros, featured in detail in this video: https://youtu.be/dN0Zj6JVNo4?si=oTH_V... 2) An Enviro200EV on the 371 at The Quadrant, Richmond. 3) A Volvo BZL on the 58 at Upton Park Station. 4) An Enviro200EV on the 376 at Upton Park Station. 5) A StreetDeck Electroliner on the 86 at Stratford Bus Station. 6) A GB Kite Electroliner on the 444 at Turnpike Lane Station. 7) An MCV EvoSeti on the 91 at Russell Square Station. 8) A New Routemaster on the 253 around Holloway, Nag's Head. 9) Two non-TfL buses on rail replacement at Twickenham Station, much more interesting than the usual Gemini 3s.
Routes featured: 117 - Staines to Isleworth, West Middlesex Hospital 371 - Richmond, Manor Circus to Kingston 58 - Walthamstow Central to East Ham, Central Park 376 - East Ham, Newham Town Hall to Beckton Bus Station 86 - Romford to Stratford 444 - Chingford Station to Turnpike Lane Station 91 - Crouch End to Trafalgar Square 253 - Hackney Central to Euston
Early morning pictures from today: 1 & 2) A Gemini 3 hybrid on the N9 followed closely by one of the first 27s of the day in the Kensington Olympia area. I believe the N9 is one of London's latest running night routes, correct me if I'm wrong. 3) A New Routemaster on the N27 around Hammersmith. Surprised to see one actually blinded for the route. I may consider making a video on this when it gets withdrawn. 4) An N72 (not that you'd be able to tell) at Hammersmith Bus Station. 5) The departure board at Hammersmith unhelpfully showing terminating buses. 6) 5am Gemini 2 28. 7-9) A BYD BD11 on the 18 around Kensal Rise and at Marylebone Station. This bus was packed with the one in front being around 15-18 minutes ahead. No seats were available until Royal Oak.
Routes featured: N9 - Aldwych to Heathrow Terminal 5 N27 - Chalk Farm to Hammersmith N72 - East Acton to Roehampton, Danebury Avenue 28 - Kensal Rise to Wandsworth 18 - Sudbury to Euston
New BYD BD11s have now entered service on the SL7 (as of the 27th of May 2026). My new video showcasing these new electrics is now out! https://youtu.be/BbiUDDW4ANk?si=9ImEV...
I've been thinking of doing some non-TfL outings recently, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm most interested in places with older buses and which aren't too hard to get to from London.
So far I've got a few ideas, these are: Metrobus for their Scanias and remaining loans Hedingham for their OmniDekkas Birmingham for their remaining ALXs and B7s (I've already visited once but train tickets are cheap so I feel like it's worth another visit)
1) A New Routemaster on the 27 at Baker Street Station. As everyone knows, these are unbearable in the heat, but I caught this bus for a few stops and it was surprisingly bearable. Certainly not cool, but not excruciatingly hot. 2) An Enviro400 City EV on the 43 at Muswell Hill Broadway. 3) A broken down Volvo BZL on the 243 at Wood Green Station. 4) An Enviro200 MMC on the 296 at Romford Market. Shame this route doesn't use classic Enviro200s that often. 5) An Enviro400 on the 128 at its terminus at Romford Station. 6) A StreetDeck Electroliner on the 169 at Barking Station. 7) An Enviro100EV on the W12 at Selbourne Walk (Walthamstow). 8) An Enviro200 on the 352 at Bromley High Street, the Mall. 9) An Enviro200EV on the 265 at Coombe Lane West. 10) An Enviro200 MMC on the K3 at Cromwell Road Bus Station.
Reminder - my next video will be out today at 10-12
Routes featured: 27 - Chalk Farm to Hammersmith Grove 43 - Friern Barnet to London Bridge 243 - Wood Green to Waterloo 296 - Ilford Hill to Romford Station 128 - Claybury Broadway to Romford Station 169 - Clayhall, The Glade to Barking, Abbey Green W12 - Walthamstow, Coppermill Lane to Woodford Bridge 352 - Bromley North to Lower Sydenham 265 - Putney Bridge to Tolworth K3 - Roehampton Vale to Esher
