VLW in the City

First mission today was to find the rare (to me) VLW140, which was on the 78. This route has had something of a downgrade since many of Ash Grove E400s were sent to Barking to double deck the 173. This downgrade will be temporary though, as new 'HA' class E40Hs are just arriving in order to convert the 78, bizarrely disguised to resemble Boris Buses for some reason. Anyway, the old order is seen here in Bishopsgate on 17/11/15. I think I can say this was my last AE VLW as my other winner (135) hasn't worked since June and is currently losing parts in the shed. After having this, it was off to route 254 for my last two AE DWs and then Walthamstow for my last Leyton E40D.
