On the previous evening a major accident resulted in the closure of the M25 which did not re-open until early-morning resulting in many vehicles diverting inwards onto the North Circular Road (A406). Add to that the road works in the Bounds Green area causing congestion eastbound and an accident at Henlys Corner which temporarily closed the North Circular westbound and you get the car-park effect in this photo. I suspect the upleasantly wet weather isn't helping either :-( The bendybus in the photo is off route and possibly on one of its last journeys for Arriva in the UK. This vehicle, a Mercedes-Benz Citaro, has been selected for transfer to Arriva Malta where it will replace much older vehicles to the chagrin of transport enthusiasts who have been flocking there over the last few years to photograph them.
