Metroline Enviro 200 DE1799/YX10BFE at West Drayton station. By a strange coincidence, the one bus I paused to photograph today at this location is the same vehicle I photographed more than two years ago at the same stop when it was operated on the same route by First. 200_2_P1050252

My followers will know that I find the current London bus scene pretty tedious and that it requires special surges of enthusiasm to make me record it. Every now and then documentary dedication defeats deadly dullness and I add a little to the record. To be fair, the actual service seems both intensive and, largely, effective as I saw early on a Sunday morning when countless buses were running in Islington. Relatively light traffic (for the area) made photography easier and I saw vehicles from no fewer than four operators. This is Metroline Plaxton President bodied Volvo B7TL VPL636/LK54FWR on southbound route 4 at Angel. 200_2_P1020852C

I do not feel exactly compelled to photograph the numbingly tedious redness of London's buses today but part of me (the documentary photographer part) says I should play my part in creating the record of changing types and operators. Metroline DC1548/LK03NFZ, seen at Heathrow, is a Caetano Nimbus bodied Dennis Dart SLF and is former First DMC41511. 200_P1010128
