Tube Strike

Reported elsewhere that Ensign have had 16 of their vintage fleet out in service today.

Re: Tube Strike

Re: Tube Strike

Ross will be taking his camera with him then?

Re: Tube Strike

Malcolm Conway (RM1422) has already out a lot of photos from yesterday on Flickr, though none of the LBC buses yet.

My bus number (if any): RTL 960, RMC 1458 RM 1585 and several RTs

Re: Tube Strike

He's driving an RT on the 25s, the way the loadings have been not much chance of photos!

Re: Tube Strike

One of the nicest bus pictures I have seen for some time. I particularly like the 'single dip', although an RT wouldn't have used headlights in central London at all.
