These buses look great in photos, but I can imagine that they have to be seen for real to be truly appreciated. Photos I've seen show off a rather sophisticated interior and I am fond of the styling and colour scheme used. A must-see for me I reckon!
I was in London for the first time last June for my birthday. The only London bus service I used was the 59 several times. I didn't really like how long it took to get in and out of Euston, especially when through trips were being made from Kings Cross beyond Euston towards the Thames and Waterloo. The Underground was far speedier, but I'm certainly not ruling out bus transport on future visits because there's nothing quite like looking out of the front top-deck window in a new city.
Andreos I've yet to experience a dlr journey, but I'm intrigued about that approach into Bank, I'm keen to try it for myself now!
I remember being confused about ticketing in London. At the time I got the impression that you could buy a Travelticket for select zones which would allow you travel on Underground in those zones, but bus transport was permitted across all zones regardless? Not sure if this is correct though or if it would be valid on dlr or not.
This is one of the tickets I bought, used on Underground trips and on bus which drivers barely even looked at! I didn't realise I still had this!
