Wednesday 27th February 2013 ~ Put m' feet up on Green Lanes

Started with Solo OS9 on the W5 from Harringay Sainsbury's to Hornsey Library, where I dropped off Tiny Furniture and picked up To Get to Heaven First you have to die - a Russian film. Then a walk to Crouch End Broadway for Enviro400 TE685 on the 91, which I took to the Strand. My next ride was aboard Enviro400 TE989 on the 139 from Charing Cross to Waterloo. Thence to the platform level entrance at Waterloo to board another Enviro400, no.9554, on the 211, for a ride to Victoria. At Victoria it was on to hybrid Gemini HV44 on the 73, which I took to Oxford Circus, from where I boarded Enviro400 no.9555 on the C2, which I took to Green Park. Time to head back so I decided to get Gemini WVL495 on the 19, which I boarded at Piccadilly/Down Street, intending to take it all the way to Finsbury Park. However whilst on board I realised it had changed it's terminating point to Highbury Barn, so I got off on Rosebery Avenue, noticing that subsequent 19's were also only going to Highbury Barn. My ride home was Enviro400 T149 on the 341, from Rosebery Avenue to Harringay Green Lanes. I boarded it at 18.20. Due to roadworks just north of Manor House on Green Lanes and it being rush hour, progress approaching Manor House was extremely slow!
