On the subject of various special services running:
Later this month, "One Direction" will be hosting a concert at the Stadium of Light. Extra buses are running after the event finishes. Last year, Washington loaned "Red Arrows" branded Geminis to Deptford for use on service 56. Although this is less likely to happen now with the arrival of Volvo B9s to service 56, there is potential for them to be loaned to Deptford for another one of their services.
As you'd expect, I intend to go out to photograph these shuttle services. Last year proved to be difficult as I attended one or two of the concerts myself and therefore could only photograph the vehicles on the special services amid the floods of people making their way home.
