Go-Ahead London Route 40 to Clerkenwell Green | BYD D8UR-DD, LG73FRV Ee233

Here is an Ee on the rather pointless 40 through south and central London. I'm sure the 40 has some sort of purpose, but it does seem rather needless after it was routed away from Aldgate station to Clerkenwell Green.
This route was temporarily used as a testing route for EL1, but obviously nothing surfaced as these really dull BYD buses were instead purchased. What could have been!
