Lightning strikes twice

*RARE*

CT Plus E200 1270 (YX17NWL) crosses Ludgate Circus on Route 26 to Hackney Wick.

 

 

This is the second time in three days that a single deck has ventured out onto the 26.

I still struggle to think of the last time when a single deck bus ran on a Central London double deck route (bar Monday's episode!). It could quite possibly go back to the time in the late 90s/ early 2000s when Sunday services on routes like the 7, 9, 139 & 189 saw singles.

 

I was unable to snap it due to prior engagements on the Monday, but managed to find a very small window of opportunity to do so today. The shot isn't great, and the lighting isn't any better, but this shall serve as a record of what could possibly be one of the rarest London bus working of 2018.
