'SunCalc' helps me a great deal when planning the best location to get photos.
For the spot I caught 5327 at:

The middle line represents the angle which the sun is coming from. The sun needs to be behind you, so you also need to stand somewhere on this line (in real life - obviously!)
At this time of year, 14:30 is probably the latest you can get a photo there, as I had to squeeze the bus into a tiny space to avoid a few shadows at the back of the bus. The sun will start getting lower by 15:00, meaning that there are more and more shadows.
