To save any guess work it was our Metrobus M842 [OJD842Y]. Tonight's episode will feature M842 in more detail as youths take control of the bus. To protect our name the logos were covered up and the registration plates changed [to a probably fake 'J37 CUW'] for some shots. Most of the filming was done over a week in an industrial estate near Bow. The shots with a young lad driving were taken on a low loader. I might not agree with the story line, but as the film company say 'It's only Drama'"
