Metroline West route 18: Sudbury - Euston, Bus Station
Departing Paddington Green Police Station (EX), towards Edgware Road for the Bakerloo Line (EZ)

This is probably karma's way of rewarding me as I saw two 187s earlier together, both of them curtailed (one to Harlesden Jubilee Clock, the one behind to Kensal Rise), but I had just got on a bus therefore missing the opportunity to photography what would've made two good observatory photos considering buses on the 187 are rarely curtailed.

This observation of a rare odd-working 59-reg bus on the 18 can redeem this. Also clock another 18 behind this one and yet another dropping passengers off at Paddington Green Police Station (EX) closely behind, evident of the brilliant and usefully high frequency of route 18. Even if you were to miss all three of these buses, you need not wait for more than five minutes.

Curtailed to Neasden Library. A road traffic collision with a rumoured fatality caused massive delays around the Cricklewood area. There was gridlocked traffic and buses with passengers ducking into Cricklewood Bus Garage as the drivers had no clue where to divert; even saw a 245 in there. The investigation to the incident seemed to have been resolved quite quickly as Cricklewood Broadway was reopened around three hours after the incident, but there were many curtailments such as the one photographed above.

As Metroline Travel and Metroline West plan to become one (Metroline), Metroline West have started fitting the new Metroline logos, seen on buses from Metroline Travel garages Edgware (EW) and Holloway (HT), on their buses allocated to route 18 from Willesden Junction (WJ).
