The view west along Strand towards Trafalgar Square, with the Eleanor Cross outside Charing Cross station in scaffolding on the left. There are two Heritage Routemasters in view - at this time both route 9 & 15 served Charing Cross - being the west end terminus of route 15, and near the east end of route 9, in Aldwych. Both buses are in the approximate locations of the first and last stops of route 15, although the one on the left at least appears to be a route 9 bus. Later, route 9 was shifted west, so that the terminus was the other side of the Square, in Cockspur Street.
