To Add:

Ensign also sent RT3232 [in blue]; it started from Streatham, but broke down in service. It was replaced by RT4421, which reached Marble Arch at 20:00.

This means that there were 24 special visitors to route 159 on Thursday.

Other private buses that were running were: RML898.

Most if not all the Ensign owned preserved buses would be running today and next Saturday on route X80 between Lakeside and gravesend, liking Lakeside and Bluewater shopping centres. the service specials run every 30 minutes and a day ticket costs GBP 5.00
