In the Becton area, routes 101 and 474 were changed, and terminals altered.
Route 101 was cut back to beckton, and extended to a new destination- Gallows Corner- which is a new housing development not yet finished [very rare in London to have a brand new estate now!!!] I show 17091 going to the new destination.
[by the way, the wright bodied single deck scanias are still in service]
Route 474 was extende to Manor Park, and 5 extra buses are needed.
Blue Triangle bought 5 East Lancs Omindekkas from Scania, and here is SO1 at east beckton. This is the first day of service of this bus.
Also, I show TL902 - an east lancs bodied Trident - new in 2000.
See the many differences between the two East Lancs products:
1. the new colour rules of London Buses- almost all red. very dull.
2. The position of the staircase
3. the new standard of blinds display
4. the new standard of indicators
5. the extra opening windows
