Due to the roadworks near Reedham Station, Route 455 doesn't serve Old Lodge Lane. So Route 599 runs. However, Tesco doesn't seem to suffice, so a Plaxton Primo from Buses Excetera has come down from Dorking to operate a free Tesco bus from Old Lodge Lane and Purley Tesco. I just wonder whether anyone would ask how much is the fare on this bus....
Firstly, Tom had covered the Tesco Free Bus previously:
On 24/08/13, out of the corner of Josh's eye, whilst we were on a 466, we saw this, so we took many photos and got on:

Mind the car!
This might be taking it too far... (JPT)
We rode the bus to Old Lodge Lane, where it turned around at some residential roads:

Another low shot. Yes, there is no traffic here in contrast (Au)
And a nearside shot, finally! (Au)
We then went to Old Lodge Lane to get a shot of the 599. We had the same driver as before, so after allowing him to get out of the cab, we took a few shots:
Abellio London 8028 on Route 599, Kenley (Au)
Note the C1 destination blinds, and temporary slip boards for the 599

Not exactly Rail Replacement, but Bus Replacement, rather!
