Chertsey Station was the western terminus of
the 237, deep in Country bus
territory.

The 211 terminated on the south side of Hampton
Station, running round Oldfield Road to turn. The
modern turn for short workings uses the more logical north
side of the station so that buses can pick up at the
westbound stop.
Having run along Whitton High Street and down
its second Percy Road of the day, RF486 turns into Hospital Bridge
Road.

OK, cameras ready? By Richmond Bus
Station, the weather has improved.

RF406 and RF486 stand in Old Shepperton.
It was not usual for two 237s to run together - the service
interval was usually 15 minutes or more.
RF486 boards for the 1200 departure on the
211 to Hampton Station.
Hounslow's 202 route (now running as H22)
serves roads through south Hounslow and Whitton that first saw
buses in 1951. RF486 pauses in Nelson Road.
The 202 terminated beyond Richmond, in order
that the station could be served, and used the same Dee Road
terminus as the 71. The photographers shelter on the bus
during a hail storm.
The modern replacement for the 71 is the 465,
which continues beyond the site of Leatherhead Garage to
Dorking. Quality Line's OV04 has now been renumbered
OV30074.
