Route 113 - Edgware to Marble Arch

Route 113 - Operated by Metroline - Edgware Garage (EW)
Edgware to Marble Arch
Bus: TE979

I'm not overly happy with the way this one turned out, to be honest, especially near the end. I always wanted to record this route on a dying day, as that's how I first rode the 113. I timed it right. However, I'm not very knowledgeable with how the iPhone camera works. It's very noticeable when a new recording starts due to the sudden change of light - the recordings get progressively darker as time goes on, and it's not just due to night falling. Also, speaking of street lighs; enjoy the swamps of those awful looking LED street lights that are swamping the Watford Way! Urgh, can't stand them.

Unlike Cricklewood's buses which are always presented brilliantly, Edgware's buses seem to be a bit more grotty. I sat on the left side as the front window on the other side was especially grotty, which would make the recording quite murky.

The 113 is one of my favourite routes, not only because of the fast roads, because it follows the exact way my dad and I used to drive down to Central London - it's quite fun to revisit the route on a double decker bus. The driver was excellent and drove very fast where he could, while not braking suddenly to pick up people waiting.

I split the route into a lot of recordings. I was running out of battery at this point due to the slow driver of the 240, blame him! :P I didn't want to lose any footage if my battery died, so by Baker Street I was recording one minute at a time. Not a great idea, as my phone slips while I restart the recording. You'll easily notice it near the end.

Though I don't think it was really successful, it turned out quite interesting, that's for sure, so I uploaded it anyway. I'll have to do it again, and not during sunset! Like there was any sunset on this miserable day anyhow...
