Thanks

I've been looking forward to posting this lot! Certainly should show how busy things have been, and before you ask not everything was on a Bus Stop Bash! Although I should add that I surprised myself how many BSBs I did! That being said, we need to determine, as a community, what mileage forms a BSB!

That lot should be a good indication of how empty my books were before I got to London, especially on the Great Northern side of things! Still need 6 317s and 6 321/4s with Great Northern, so I think there'll be some focus on that area again on my next London visit! Oh, and my books are still not full in the other sectors of London either!

170409
