Anything goes bash!
A rare spare Sunday afternoon, so I thought I'd just follow my nose, with no other plans apart from getting the new Costa at Hackney. My penultimate 04 reg VPL at the start lead me slightly astray but I made Hackney comfortably. I managed to get a couple of TAs in the bash (as well as my lowest mileage AE VLW from six years ago!) one of which was 17879, working amongst the E400H on the 56. I only did it for a few stops though as the driver 'wasn't in a rush'. The bus is seen approaching the Bakers Arms, where I comfortably made it to the bus stop thanks to a driver change, Leyton Garage being just round the corner. The 56 is being curtailed at St Pauls (vice St Barts Hospital) at the moment due to roadworks but I very much doubt this bus made it even there, the 56 behind was about to overtake as I got off! 7/8/16
