 In Stagecoach days of operation of the X68 this route was once the preserve of RMC Routemaster coaches. Here East Lancs EVL15 (PN02XCB) is seen in September 2011 having just crossed Waterloo Bridge. |

 Following on from the East Lancs Volvos, London General had a batch of Plaxton President bodied Dennis Tridents for the newly won tender for route 188. Volvo PDL36 (PN03ULV) is one seen on the North bank of Waterloo Bridge in October 2003. |

 Another change to the Clapham Omnibus. The 88 was relaunched as the Clapham Omnibus with the Volvo B10B/Northern Counties since transferred on to Oxford and then Diamond in Birmingham, having lost their 'Keith Ludeman' KLL registrations on the way. They were displaced by Metrobuses, allegedly because of difficulties manoeuvring the B10Bs in narrow streets with parked cars. Now low floor B7TL/Plaxton Presidents have taken over, but the Clapham Omnibus image rests better with that in the London General logo. The Volvo/President PVL58 (W458WGH) is seen against the magnificent back drop of Piccadilly Circus. |

 Later PVLs showed a momentary touch of insanity when the traditional blind layout was reduced to a single line for the benefit of those with impaired vision, as shown her on this bus at Putney Bridge Station. Common sense then prevailed, it being deemed to the greater good that the vast majority of the population gets to see everywhere the bus goes as opposed to everybody being able to see only where it ends up! Ironically the skewed blind here means nobody knows where it's going! Common sense has since been abandoned on all London buses and one can only tell where it ends up, the route number being the only clue as to how it gets there. |

Volvo PVL52 (W452WGH) is seen on Rail Replacement work in Moreden in January 2006.
