‘Scene’ in London. A few New Routemaster’s on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

 

REGULAR READERS/VIEWERS WILL BE AWARE THAT FROM TIME TO TIME, I PUBLISH BLOGS ON A DAILY BASIS USUALLY TO TIE IN WITH A HOLIDAY PERIOD.

 

SO FOR THE AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY, THE 23rd, 24th, 25th AND 26th. IT WILL BE A BLOG A DAY!


I am not really a London fan, either the City or its buses but you cannot ignore what’s there before you.

 

There has been too much politicking around London’s buses and the ‘LT’ is no different. Created at the behest of one Mayor and then dumped by another.

 

Still, I don’t expect them to fade away. If they are preserved at anything like the rate the ‘RT’ and the ‘RM’ have been we could eventually see 50 or 60 or so preserved out of the 1000 or so built.

 

This selection were all taken around Trafalgar Square just after a torrential downpour.
