‘Scene’ in Euston Square

I recently spent some time in Euston Square taking a look at the bus operations that come and go in the small bus station adjacent to the railway station.

 

I was surprised at the number of older buses in service with 52 plate vehicles still in use. I would have expected by now that buses of that age would have been long gone.

 

Although ‘Transport for London’ specify that London buses should be primarily red, it is interesting how the operators get their bit of individuality into the liveries used. Black or blue skirts for instance.
