Details: Unlike the west London allocation, the Honda Civic cars in east London are easy to see, most being based at Turnpike Lane, Stratford or Eltham Bus Stations. Some of these locations are not ideal for photography though, the cars at the former often parking nose-in to the back wall, as seen here. It would be interesting to know what role these vehicles fulfil, as they are very rarely seen away from their home bases. On one of those occasions, Ray found 6307H (from the Turnpike Lane allocation) parked at Becontree Heath Bus Station on 18th July 2009. This vehicle is slightly odd in that it gained fleetnumbers about a month after delivery but has now evidently lost them again, on both sides!
