It seems none of the quiz team were awake last night, so it's just as well that today's question is just a single part: (click for a larger version)

Kind of looks like the old NLL stretch between Silvertown and North Woolwich?

What stock has those yellow hoop-backed seats? I don't think I've ever seen them before.

That would be the old NLL Track bed between Albert Road & Factory Road viewed from a 474 +1, taken a long time ago as it's been used as a temporary road for a long time now and in the next few years will be used once again by Crossrail.

Indeed, very few questions are taken from a train as almost all of them were taken on foot on or outside the station. There have been more from trains than buses (mostly from the cab, but not exclusively by any means) but photos from buses have appeared quite a few times. The earliest was probably West Silvertown on 24 April 2009 (I can't be bothered to hunt for the thread!): (click for a larger version) Coincidentally, that was also from a 474 which I was on after the DLR fell over while I was photographing Pontoon Dock from Thames Barrier Park, long before I lived in the area. The first time a non-47x bus is explicitly mentioned in the answer file is Deptford Bridge from the 177 on 11 October 2011, but I suspect that there were 1 or 2 others that didn't get an explicit note and so are ungrepable - Walthamstow Central or Loughton from the 20 would be my first guess (again I can't be bothered to hunt the thread, but feel free to do so if you care!). (click image for a larger version) Didn't we have a discussion the other week as to which bus route a picture was taken from? We did, that was the 6 September quiz, and it was the same two routes that were possibles 473 and 474. On this occasion I didn't record which number it was, but given the date of the photo it was most likely a 474 I'd caught from outside the UEL Docklands campus at Cyprus.
