Collection details

There's not much to be seen that's not green, grey or brown when flying over London with Google Earth so it's nice to see a big red bus every now and again (or a small one, depending on how you look at it!). Well now you can see lots of them together! Having said that, the tops of many London Buses have been painted white in an attempt to reflect heat in the summer, which causes high on-board temperatues.

The description bubble of each station placemark includes links to:
  • A location area transport map (where available)
  • A link to the London Buese website

    Hello,

    I just uploaded an update of the London Bus Stations for the new London images (02/12/2005); there's also a nice new icon too!

    Please see the original edited post with the new version

    Cheers,

    Simon.

    Hello,

    The Central Bus Station in Heathrow is very close to terminals 1, 2 and 3 - some coaches stop right outside the terminal building - you'd need to check with the coach company. Do you mean National Express? If so, here's the website:
    http://www.nationalexpress.com/

    Also lots of information at the airport website:

    Simon,

    Just wondering - with the advent of phones like the N95 with GPS... how feasible would it be to make a map of all the London Bus Routes?
