Temporary Bus Route 518 26/01/13

No James with me today, due to other circumstances. So, for the first time in some time, I covered something, alone. And its the Greyhound Lane bit near Streatham Common Station is only replaced by a bus route now, in the form of Route 518.
Firstly, a video of the whole route towards Streatham:
From 8044, the sole bus on Route 518.

This is the bridge works that mean 518 and 560 exist. They seem to be numbered from the 60 (560) and 118 (518).

And finally, a lineup of buses at Streatham Station

The bus route seems to be very, very short and slightly pointless, but there are people that use it, and it's quicker than walking (and free), which makes it slightly useful if going to Streatham Common Station or live on the Streatham side of the bridge.
