What is the 100 now? I remember some years ago it was a tourist route
using the preserved Tilling ST, which is now presumably confined to
barracks.
The 100 run from the Elephant to Shadwell via, well, everywhere!
I think it might have been introduced when the Tobacco Dock shopping
development first opened, c1990. That subsequently closed and I
suspect the route was either altered slightly to run to Shadwell or
(perhaps) not altered at all but the destination simply rebranded.
Someone will be along shortly to fill us in, no doubt!
(There was a tourist route with a preserved bus in 1980 when the LT
Museum first opened, was that the 100? I remember seeing that in
Trafalgar Square on my first ever visit to London Easter 1980.)
