According to Wikipedia, this is part of a new plan for a part segregated bus system, known as East London Transit. Those of us who have travelled the segregated 'busway' from Cambridge to St Ives will watch with interest to see just how 'part segregated' things can become.
The other bus route which is directly affected by the new scheme, the 179, did not escape us!
Instead of a bus trip, therefore, here are the answers to the 63 Regular's challenging bus quiz, which we posted a few buses ago.
Actually, I think I'll put in the questions again too, to save you from having to go back through past buses:
1.

a boy carrying what he thinks are some film cans on a double-decker bus?
