I was sitting on the back seat and it was starting to stink and other drivers were gesturing to the bus driver. I moved off the back seat and noticed plumes of what looked like smoke behind us. Thankfully it turned out to be steam and we didn't go up in flames but something seems quite fubared.

6337, which was originally VOR with defects, is now undergoing PSV preparation. It should be tested on Thursday and enter service on Friday. This will release 5485 to Deptford.

Which batch of Scania's will be withdrawn in coming weeks?, as it looks like nothing will come in to replace them because the Streetdecks, haven't started to arrive.

After ferry shuttle finishes this month, id imagine a further 2 at deptford will be withdrawn. There is also the 2 B5s to enter service which may lead to withdrawal of anotherAre those B5s not destined as spares for the X9/X10 being in Xlines spare livery?
