London

I was reminded today by a friend that this time last year we were in London, after going back to look at the pictures from the trip I decided I'd share them by means of a blog entry...

Metroline Enviro 400 TE on the 24 to Hampstead Heath, this route is now operated by London General still using Enviro 400's.During the trip we visited BBC Television Centre, and took a tour which is well worth it, very interesting.
East London's Dennis Trident ALX400 17496 on Route 101
We also took a trip to Oxford, travelling by Oxford Tube
Oxford has an interesting bus scene:
ALX400's operate the frequent Park & Ride service
They also have Plaxton Verde buses, similar to our old P Class but with a different engine. As can be seen in the background, one is about to be towed...
And also Merc Citaros... as the branding says 'in comfort, in style, in a Merc'!
While Irish interest is maintained by former RH Olympians operating the CitySightseeing open top tour. Former Ringsend RH13 is seen here.On the return from Oxford, we alighted the Oxford Tube early at Hillingdon and travelled back on the 'real' tube, Piccadilly line.
Then we took a trip on an elusive tube line, the Waterloo & City line...
Not much choice about where to get off... Waterloo or Bank???
