Yesterday .................. finished work DLR to Shadywell then LO to Peckham Rye (Crikey it's a dump now) for about 7 AM - taking pictures of 12 / 36 / 78 / 363 / P12 / 436 / 345 / 136 on low speed & high ISO as digital cameras can do awaiting the arrival of SCL 11005 in Poppy OL on the 136 then more pictures at PR until light enough to walk the 63 out to it's southern terminus at Forest Hill snapping as I went. Photographed AB 9408 in training livery there . Then walked over the summit down to Honor Oak Park and LO 378 to Anerley to photo the 432 WVL's & 358 MEC's.
Then GAL MEC55 on the 358 from Anerley to Bromley High Street - quick change onto DW427 on the 269 which ground it's way to Bexleyheath - much as I like the throaty sound they ain't built for the mountains of Bromley & Chislehurst .............. decided the SEN's on the R11 and the hired G3's on the 160 need a photo session v.soon.
Arrival into Bexleyheath was for the sole purpose of photographing ENX6 which had been the B15 "loose" bus in the AM and I was hoping it would be in the PM too. Immediately found & photo'd it parked up on the Friswell Place stand ready for the 13:25 ........... well chuffed especially as I'd also managed to get shots of ENX28 on the 325 in the dark @ Prince Regent the previous evening (with the co-operation of the driver) - it's taken me an aaaaaaaaaaage to get these two in front of my lens and I end up getting them within a few hours of each other.
So photo-bashed Bexleyheath for a bit (GAL E131 in LG on the 486 being the highlight) and then Scania'ed on SCL 15116 on the 96 all the way back to Woolwich. 👍😁
Then DLR to Canning Town (nipping out to the Bus Station to photo SCL 15043 on the 330 which I'd spotted from the DLR train) then Jubilee to Waterloo - SWR Class 458 to Richmond and a distinct lack of H37's resulting in a Red Arrow-like sardine journey back to Isleworth after a 20 minute wait .......... getting a shot of SP40102 on the 65 whilst waiting tempered this somewhat.
