Having been working near Tower Bridge and having walked from Aldwych

I did eventually, after a few days, catch a four-in-a-row of 521s, but
they've been on diversion recently which has mucked up the timings.
Cellar collapse in Procter Street, or something. Two-in-a-row is so
common as not to be worth a second glance. Generally by the time they
reach about St. Pauls heading east there are single-digit passenger
loads on each one, too.

the 38, the original announcement read as if the off-peak frequency
was unchanged from bendies - is that still the case? Note that this is
the first time ever that someone's tried to run the 38 with single-door
boarding double deckers, and thus pretty much counts as a Boris
transport innovation.
