Southbound traffic is at a standstill on the one way northern section of Caledonian Road. Here is Gemini WVN29 on the 259

Traffic on Caledonian Road was stationary, and southbound buses were being diverted down North Road. As I proceeded south the cause of the bother was revealed, President VPL224, on a northbound 17, had broken down outside Caledonian Road tube station, blocking both lanes.

To the south, northbound traffic is stationary. Here is President VPL637 on the 17, with more buses queueing behind.
I emerged from my appointment at around 11.00, and traffic by then had cleared. I boarded Enviro400 TE927 on the 91, from Caledonian Road to Charing Cross. From there it was Enviro400 DN33779 on the 23 from Charing Cross to it's terminating point, Liverpool Street bus station. After a coffee it was onto ALX400 no.17742 on the 8 at Bishopsgate (Liverpool Street) to it's terminating point at Holles Street, by John Lewis's. To reach Holles Street from Oxford Street, this runs via Hanover Street and Hanover Square, which was a nice ride.

At Holles Street it was on to Gemini VN36139 at the start of it's journey on the 25, which I took to High Holborn, by the Penderel's Oak, where I had something to eat and a glass of wine. From there it was onto Citaro MEC6 on the 521 to it's terminating point at Waterloo station. Finally it was Enviro400 T160 on the 341 from Waterloo (Baylis Road) to Harringay Green Lanes.
