The Anonymous Widower

Between North Greenwich And West Silvertown Stations Around 8 p.m.

In this trip, I went between North Greenwich and West Silvertown stations in the evening at about eight in the evening, to look at the traffic levels.

Luckily, I got the same seat alongside the driver as I was able to use, when I took the pictures in Is This The Best Seat On A Bus Through The Silvertown Tunnel?.

I took these pictures.

Note.

1. I’d arrived at North Greenwich station on the Jubilee Line and it was very busy because of something at The O2, so I arrived at the 129 bus stop, just as a bus left for Gallions Reach.
2. As sunset was about eight, I was still able to take pictures.
3. I waited perhaps eight minutes for the next bus.
4. There was perhaps a dozen passengers on the lower deck through the tunnel.
5. From my position next to the driver, I was able to read the driver’s speedometer, which a lot of of the time showed 30 mph or just a few mph under.
6. The tunnel wasn’t very busy with traffic.
7. The only problem with my position at the front, is that you don’t have a view of the destination board, so I got down a bit early for my West Silverton stop, from where I took the Docklands Light Railway to Bank station.

After a quick supper in Leon, I took a bus home from Moorgate.
