"Walk the 38" is a lovely idea.
I ended up "walking the 38" recently, after riding it proved to be such a gloomy, claustrophobic, airless, noisy and hot experience.
That bus cake is seriously cute.

More good news for Bus Perverts-this coming Saturday, the London Bus Museum is having the Great British Bus Jubilee http://www.londonbusmuseum.com/june-24-the-great-british-bus-jubilee/
I think one of your video links has gone walkabout up the top of your post...
I wonder, was I the only one wondering if the photo link after "even sit in the drivers seat" was going to be DG sat in said seat?
I saw my first new bus for London yesterday and it was on the 38 route, just next to the Palace Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue. I had wondered what routes it ran on
The NBfLs only work on the 38, (hence my previos post)

However, one did work a 23A service a couple of weeks ago http://leondaniels.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/diamond-jubilee-weekend.html

(Pity it wasn't a live firing day!)
Descent through the class system ?, Leyton E10 and slightly proud !
I took my at first reluctant daughter to Victoria today. I was hoping to see a Routemaster as well as a Boris bus. In the event we were lucky to be able to travel on an RT, of which two were running apparently. She and I enjoyed the experience and will keep the tickets (2 and 4 old pence respectively) as souvenirs.
(She says that the conductors were cheerful and it was interesting)
Don't know how Bob caught a 38 at Victoria today. I went to Wilton Place with my printed timetable. Big yellow sign showing a list of buses not running today including the 38. Advice was to go to Green Park to catch it. Went there , no traffic, three big indian jugganauts being pulled by ropes up Picadilly by the Hare Krishnas. Never saw a 38. Hopped onto a number 9 routemaster to High Stree Kensington. Did anybody catch a 38 at Victoria today ??
It was just after 5 that we left on a old bus - RTL139 for those that are more knowledgeable about buses than myself. There had been about 10 present-day 38's in the half-hour before then, and one new bus. Maybe the problem had been sorted out by then.
@ Freedom Pass Holder - the buses were certainly running at the Hackney end of things. Judging from other photos I have seen the 38 seemed to be on diversion via Westminster, Whitehall and Charing Cross Road. Don't know how long the diversion lasted.

I managed to miss the K-type in terms of getting a snap as it ran early on its trip back into town and went past the bus I was on heading to get a photo of it. Curses!
Point of order, Leyton Green is where the Leyton High Road meets Leyton Green Road (bit of a giveaway) and Capworth Street, about 400m south of Baker’s Arms, where the Lea Bridge Road crosses Hoe Street/Leyton High Road. You can miss it, there’s a ruddy great bus garage there.
