Or is it just nothing more sinister than them drumming up tourism and promoting London?

That's some diversion from Clapton Perhaps the bus lost it's mirror misjudging the drive onto the boat as it was shipped to the States

That's one less NBfL in this country! Make that two. Apparently two NB4Ls are off on a round the world "holiday" and no, freebbc, I don't know which other one it is. probably 2nd one is being used as a decoy for security reasons.

Blog also says it is overheight for US roads, so needed a special route. Also it appears it is LT1 that was back at Ballymena for upgrade, but was shipped via Southampton Therefore I assume the Arriva fleet (for 38) has officially been reduced from 8 buses as it has been exported (for time being)

Do CT put an extra bus on the conventional 38?
