Don't think it's been mentioned here, but today 10105 crashed into a lamppost just outside Stratford Bus Station. Route 238 by any chance? I came across a video on instagram earlier showing the scene. Unfortunately it's filmed by one fool doing the "you can't park there" joke 😑

Man 😩 the last thing a driver would want to be dealing with is some loon with a camera talking foolishness! What made it worse was the comments from people finding this equally funny 🤦🏿♂️ got me thinking if the shoes where on their feet, no way they'd be even smiling!

Random comment - I love route 97's Scanias. They are quite nippy, especially after 11pm. The drivers always seem to be in a hurry when I travel on this route from Walthamstow.

Strange thing today, was in West Wickham High Street when a TL bus (possibly 13084) turned right onto the street from the West Wickham station direction fully blinded with '47 - Bellingham - Catford Bus Garage' on the front. A 119 quickly arrived which I hopped on but the '47' got away fairly quickly. However we caught up to it at the Addiscombe Road / Shirley Road roundabout where it appeared the driver had got out and was on his phone at the roadside.
So where was it going? Possibly to take up a duty on the 54? But it had come from the Beckenham direction to get to West Wickham! Visiting another Stagecoach garage? If that was the case TB was the closest and was in completely the other direction. All the nearby garages to Addiscombe are owned by Arriva and Go-Ahead. Finally why didn't the bus have 'Not in Service' on the blinds instead of being fully blinded for the 47?
It's a mystery to me!

36636 recently had its 462 branding removed though it didn't have a repaint with the new logo like 36640 and the 167 branded examples did last year, 36635 might possibly had its 462 branding removed as well seeing it has made an apperence on the 366 today.

Went past TL earlier and noticed the Electrical infrastructure is now being installed for Route 160/660.
