Digital TV Switchover
Between 2008 and 2012, analogue television transmission, as used from the start of television in the UK, is being progressively switched off, region by region, with all terrestrial transmission becoming digital. One of the last regions to switch is London, which is due to change in two stages, on 4 April 2012 and 18 April 2012. As part of the preparation, a van is touring the region advertising the change and giving advice to members of the public.
Here is the van parked in Orpington High Street.

Orpington High Street
A busy shopping centre, served by several bus routes. Route 51 is operated by Stagecoach. Their fleet number 15066 will be allowed to pull out in front of me, resulting in close studies of the back of the bus for a while.

Old shop front revealed!
For a few years these were the premises of a "Dreams" bed shop. However, in December 2010 this branch closed, having moved to larger premises on Sevenoaks Way, and the facade was stripped, revealing the identity of the previous users of this shop, namely Methven's Booksellers.
