I managed to jump on this old london bus just outside John Lewis at Oxford street. Bus 390 was supposed to go to Archway via King's Cross. Wanted to take these old bangers as much as I can before they take them all off the roads of london.
The reason why the bus seems so empty on the upper deck is because I did not board the bus at the bus stop. The bus had just come out of the terminus and was a little trapped in very slow moving traffic. I ran after it once I realised that it was a 390 because it just felt too hot to walk from Bond Street tube station to Tottenham Court Road to take the Northern line. The best bit about these old bangers is that they dont have doors. Just jump on and off the bus from the open platform at the end of the bus.
Just in case you were wondering about the orientation of the picture, this is a shot taken from the front to the back of the bus on the upper deck. The red thing at the left side is the tiny tiny spiral staircase that leads up from the platform on the bottom deck.
