Hi David, 
Nice lot of info is being gathered on the pictures. It is a shame that more 
information isn't coming forth about some of the other photos on your site. 

An interesting piece you sent me. The bus reg number is a bit out though. Z 
isn't going to be used. and the FL of TFL belongs to Huntingdon and 
Peterborough. The numbers all change from September anyway. Here is one which 
could well be valid then. LU51 TFL where the LU is for London from the Sidcup 
office 51 the second half of 2001 and TFL is unique to the vehicle. 

An interesting article is it by you or someone from T-bus. To make people use 
public transport it has to be useable. All of these out of town shopping 
centres don't help do they. Public transport to them can be patchy. Just 
imagine going to one and carrying back several parcels to the bus outside, 
then traveling in packed conditions, having to push pash standing passengers 
to get of. Wouldn't it be nice if the transport went right inside the centre 
for alighting and boarding. Something that could only be done with 
electricity without filling the place with fumes. 

Attach a trolleybus picture, by AD Packer. I don't know if he is the 
photographer or just the copyright holder. The picture is of Trolleybus 518 
FXH 518 on ropute 567. Barking - Aldgate - Smithfield. The bus is of type RTL 
being RTL109. LUC 284 on route 108 Bromley by Bow - Blackwall Tunnel - 
Eltham. This should help narrow down tho location of the picture. Did 
trolleybuses always travel down empty side streets in the East End? 

Best wishes 
John.
