As for the bus itself, the market is awash with ex London LFDD's. There might have been more outrage had it been a Routemaster!! And there in lies the problem - it shouldn't be fine when it's Routemaster but yet be ok when it's a President. A Routemaster will be of far more value than a 12 year Trident

I think I can confirm that this was TP1530/TN33333. I was casually looking at this photo of TP1536, and noticed that it doesn't have First logos either side of its blindbox. TP1538 appears not to have those logos either. According to snoggle's photo, TP1530 did have them, but they were covered over with black vinyl. What's more is that a small piece of the vinyl on the right hand side was missing, exposing the yellow/green of the First logo. Also, the lower deck windscreen is split into two partitions. The right hand windscreen (from driver's perspective) has a sun strip thingy on it (that's the technical term ), but the left hand windscreen doesn't. Now look at this photo. You can just about make out the dull matte sheen of the vinyl either side of the blindbox, and the missing piece of vinyl on the right, and also the missing sun strip thingy from the left hand windscreen. I think I saw that or a similar bus on a stand blinded for Hammersmith. I wonder what is it doing on the 211 I saw one on Edgware Road with the Same blinds. I do have a photo but don't know how to upload from a phone.

The could have just borrowed a ex-Armchair Trident from Abellio. I'm sure it would have been easy getting it to do the same job

Many people didn't know it was going to happen, hence why it was a bit sensitive. When I was watching the news, I wasn't really listening to the report, but then I turned around to see that bus exploding. I even thought it was real with people onboard, and I had a bit of sympathy 'for the people onboard'. When I found out it was for a film, I fought it was a bit disrespectful as not everyone around new about it.
