DEL853 on the 84 approaches the junction with Warwick Road on route to St.Albans. This vehicle, an Alexander Dennis Enviro 200, has a dot matrix route display which the camera hasn't caught because of its refresh rate. The 84 route was always an anomaly within the London Transport network, being a red route that went deep into the country bus area. Nowadays the 84 route is not a TFL route (ex London Transport), but is a commercial operation by Metroline, with support from Hertfordshire County Council and support from TFL over the Barnet to Potters Bar section. TfL Oyster cards can only be used on the Barnet-Potters Bar section. Transport for London don't normally allow dot-matrix displays, but as this is not a TfL route the buses are fitted with them. So the 84 continues its record for uniqueness. A 307 to Brimsdown can be seen in the distance.
