Emergency on the 185

In January 2001, London route 185 was won under competitive tendering by Durham Travel Services T/A 'London Easylink'. This operator was, to put it politely, a cowboy. It all fell apart (including arrests I believe!) in August 2002. Blue Triangle hastily stepped in and arranged an emergency service, using anyone who had spare buses. This was what it looked like shortly afterwards at the end of August.

This Metrobus Olympian had just arrived at Victoria. The driver had already changed the destination ready for the return trip. At least it said Lewisham, even if the intermediate points were wrong!
