9 & 15 route

Hi everyone, I was out with a load of other enthusiasts yesterday for the extra's on the 9 & 15, I would like to thank all the owners for turning up and letting Joe Public loose on their vehicles for the day. It was great fun and smiles to many normals who saw and rode on them...

My bus number (if any): RM66 & 308

Yes Duane it was a thoroughly enjoyable day, I'd like to thank the powers that be at TFL for inviting us, it was nice to take the 1357 back to work for the day as it's nearly 30 years since it retired from the streets of London.

It was good to meet up with fellow enthusiasts with special thanks to Izzie who was a superb conductoress for the day.
