Tube Strike Round 2 Part 2

Tube Strike Day 2, here it goes, again!:

As a result of the Metropolitan line being shut thanks to the strike, Lewis gathered some Sullivan Buses Enviros on the H11:

Back Again
Sullivan Buses AE5 on Route H11, Harrow (LJN)

Blue Bus on the H11

Meanwhile, in Central London, I hit the blues!:

Ambus (Amber-Lee) Y202 NLK on Route 26, St Paul's
...or rather, Amber. Or is it white?
Ambus (Amber-Lee) Y202 NLK on Route 26 'Gaffer Tape', St Paul's (Au)
Amber-Lee Coaches extras can only go on the 26 because the buses have blinds for the 265 and some gaffer tape ready for the strike. The tape is even done on the outside! It's still a bus though, which is always good!

Seaford and District V310 KGW on Route 26, St Paul's
But we can all learn from the excellent presentation Seaford & District did with some of their buses! Proper displays (in colour too!), and neat bus.

Ensignbus DM2646 on Route 15, St Paul's
..or Ensign with nearly all their extras! Buses with full blinds on the 15.

Ensignbus RTL453 and RMC1485 on Route 15, St Paul's
Ensignbus being the main contributor of extras (Routes 8, 15, 25, 38), including these two buses
