London bus pictures (272):
1) A BYD BD11 on the 188 at the edge of Greenwich town centre, a sight which was pretty uncommon when Morden Wharf operated the route - so many buses got curtailed to Greenwich! The situation seems to have improved under Camberwell though.
2) An Enviro400EV on the 301, a route which has recently passed to Stagecoach London from Arriva. Watch my 301 videos linked below:

3) A BYD BD11 on the 320 at Bromley, Queens Gardens heading towards Catford. The 320 and other routes diverted via Bromley Common have been on diversion recently, causing northbound 320s such as the one in this picture to have to travel southbound in Bromley.
4) An Enviro400 on the 301 under Arriva operation seen on Nathan Way, near Plumstead.
5) A Gemini 3 Hybrid on the 430 at West Brompton Station.
6) An Enviro400 MMC hybrid on the 123 at Gants Hill Station, Cranbrook Road.
7-8) A New Routemaster on the 27 at Warren Street Station and Notting Hill Gate.
9) A Gemini 3 Hybrid on the 85 at Tiffin School, London Road.

188 - Tottenham Court Road to North Greenwich

Changes to north London bus routes from the 1st of August 2026:

Route 91 will be extended from Crouch End to Wood Green.

Route 123 will be cut back at Turnpike Lane, no longer serving Wood Green.

Route 299's holiday timetables will be introduced with minor changes to times. The frequency of the route will remain unchanged.

1) A GB Kite on route B15 at Stationer's Crown Woods Academy, Avery Hill.
2) Two Gemini 2s on stand at Haven Green, Ealing Broadway on route E1.
3) An Enviro400 MMC hybrid on route 115 at Aldgate East Station.
4) An Enviro200 on the, sorry, 299? These buses have been straying onto route 232 ever since the 299 started using Volvo BZLs, however they usually come with a bandit blind showing 232. This one didn't, and it's honestly a disgrace that no attempt was made at displaying what route this bus was actually running on. I'd imagine a fair few passengers let this bus go without realizing it was the bus they wanted, and the 232 is not a route you'd want to miss, given that half of its length is alongside the North Circular, where waiting for a bus isn't pleasant at all. Still, it was pretty cool seeing a '299' all the way in Brent Cross.
5) A Gemini 3 Hybrid on the 328 in Westbourne Park.
6) A GB Kite on the S1 at Sutton Station heading towards Mitcham, Lavender Fields.
7) A New Routemaster on the 87 at Vauxhall Bus Station. This was curtailed due to protests in central London, something which affects this route a lot.
8) An ex-Stagecoach Scania OmniCity on a sightseeing route, seen at the London Hilton Hotel, near Hyde Park Corner.
9) An Enviro200 on the 201 at its final stop at Herne Hill Station.

Would you watch a short tribute video to Arriva running the 301?

I released a half an hour video dedicated to the 301 last weekend* but since I have nothing to post until Saturday & Sunday, I'm considering creating a short 1-2 minute compilation of 301s for the route's final day under Arriva operation.

London bus pictures (269):
1-3) A StreetDeck Electroliner on the 269 at Sidcup, Queen Mary's Hospital and Bickley Station. A lot of enthusiasts probably look down at this route now that it's gained a full electric allocation, but I still love using it. I sometimes even take a 269 over an SL3, as it's not much slower than the Superloop as discussed in a post I made last year comparing the two.
4) An Enviro200 MMC on the 124 at Eltham High Street, Pound Place. Still yet to find the time to do this route on an end to end journey, I'll get to it eventually.
5) An Enviro200 MMC on the 380 at Maxey Road. The 380 always seems to show up first when I'm travelling between Plumstead and Woolwich, not sure how.
6) An Enviro400 MMC smart hybrid on the 54 at Woolwich Station.
7) The same Enviro200 on the 380 shown in picture 5, this time at Woolwich Station.
8) A New Routemaster on the Superloop SL11 near Woolwich Station.
9) Another 269 for good measure - DEL118 heading towards Bexleyheath near Chislehurst.
10) An Enviro400 MMC hybrid on the 47 at the Lewisham Centre.

Routes featured:
269 - Bexleyheath Shopping Centre to Bromley North
124 - Catford, St Dunstans College to Eltham, Southend Crescent
380 - Belmarsh Prison to Lewisham Shopping Centre
54 - Woolwich to Elmers End
Superloop SL11 - North Greenwich to Abbey Wood
47 - Shoreditch to Bellingham, Catford Bus Garage
