I was speaking to one of the conductors on the 15H today who says that it is rumoured the light running buses to/from Bow on the 15H (ROUTEMASTERS!!) are to be run as route 25's tomorrow morning and evening to help provide extra capacity!! Obviously it's just a rumour, but keep ya eyes open guys! ;D Just so you guys know. I was talking to one of the conductors i'm chatty with on the 15H today. I was indeed correct about the running of routemasters on the 25 for extra capacity. The 15H's Routemasters were running as route 25's during their light run to/from Tower Hill/Trafalgar Square during the AM and PM peaks. They were leaving Bow garage and running as far as Aldgate before turning into 15H's. ;D ;D ;D Anybody spot them or get photos? yes i carnt remember what bus but it was on thursday there was one parked at bow church ready to leave

Bloody nightmare i had on Thursday!! Decided to avoid using the 205, which i was grateful for when i saw them pull into Euston!! Instead, i used the NLL from Stratford to Camden. It was like having to use a Japanese commuter train, that's how packed it was. When i went to get the bus, the 253 i wanted to get was packed, as was the 29 directly behind, and then the next 253 was turning short at Camden, so ended up on a rather empty, in comparison, 168. Got to Euston about an hour and half early so treated myself to a nice fried breakfast ;D

Now that I can relate to as I had a holiday in Japan a few years ago and remember having to use the Yamanote Line (basically Tokyo's very own Circle Line) at rush hour a number of times. Not pretty Bloody nightmare i had on Thursday!! Decided to avoid using the 205, which i was grateful for when i saw them pull into Euston!! Instead, i used the NLL from Stratford to Camden. It was like having to use a Japanese commuter train, that's how packed it was.
