London Buses 2020 - HCT Group Part 1

Welcome to the first of my 2020 London Buses videos, shot during spring and summer 2020 under varying degrees of lockdown.
HCT (or CT Plus as it was then) has been steadily growing since its first steps into minibus operation in 2001, and now has a multi-million pound turnover. It is a registered charity and any profits from TfL bus operation are ploughed back into charitable transport projects. Although the fleet is now mostly Alexander Dennis, HCT have the only slim Optare Solos operating in London, and also the only two-door Optare Solos in the UK. The latest addition to its portfolio of London bus routes is the 20, acquired in March 2019. Minibus route 812 (Hoxton to Old Street) was suspended during the lockdown and consequently does not appear in this video.
Part Two covers the lettered routes D6, W5 and W11-19.
