Late in 2013, it was announced by TfL that 2014 would be Year of the Bus, with events celebrating the history of London's buses. One of the highlights of these events was a bus rally in Regent Street. I was quite surprised at this happening, however I think it was a very good idea! The rally included 50 buses, all have worked in London at some point. The Orpington Roundabout Optare City Pacer sadly didn't turn up however there were plenty of other good buses there. Also present was London United's new Optare Metrocity electric, which has part leather seats. London Central's WHV1 has also been fitted with a seat availability screen at the bottom of the staircase, showing which seats available. Tower Transit's WSH62994 has also been fitted with a GPS device, showing the location of the bus on a screen. All in all, there was some very good buses there, and I hope TfL do a similar event soon. I hope you enjoyed reading this post.
