Alien buses seen on Euston Rd - non-red, single door, no obvious Oyster
kit so presumably a free ride for all. Stagecoach buses from Hampshire
on the 205, with bus number and destination on (laminated?) sheets in
the lower front window. Green and white Stephensons buses on the 91,
with incongruous looking LED blinds showing both number and destination.
Some other outfit, 'something Travel', orange? green & blue buses, whose
rear and I think side LED display just showed a scrolling message about
themselves - presumably something was on display somewhere on the front
of the bus.

Here's one from East Kent, also on the 205, that managed a destination
display:

Free ride -- the only benefit of a rail replacement bus!

Also an original Routemaster apparently in service on the route 38 - was
this so?

I don't know, but the same Flickr stream includes a photo of an RT on
the 25 (although it's a very undercover 25):

That's a nice sight on a bad day to be going anywhere.
