The RTW roars up North Street towards Carshalton Station, en route to Mitcham.

Crossing the Ponds at Carshalton.

RML3 stands at Wallington awaiting minor electrical repairs before entering service. It attended as a substitute for RTL139, which had fuel supply problems, and as a result was the only bus operating without a full set of blinds.

No apologies for another shot of RTW467, this time coming up to the Wallington station turn. It is unfortunate that the Buses reviewer missed the description in the programme of the location of the Wallington stops - the new station terminus was not used on the day.

DM1052 manoeuvres inside Sutton Garage, crowded on a Sunday with a much lower runout than a weekday.

RTW467 turns into Beddington Gardens towards the end of the day.
