would welcome any good pictures from you. We can’t pay you but if
we use your photographs we will credit you and, of course,
copyright remains with you. Please e-mail digital images or
scanned prints. We will resize them if necessary. If you have
prints but no scanner, please contact us at the same e-mail address
and we’ll let you know where to send them. We will return the
prints if you ask us to.

RT3365 runs south from Morden in January
sunshine in 1976, two months before RTs were fully replaced by
Routemasters. Below, RT2750 is a little further south, at The
Woodstock.

Somewhat earlier, in August 1951 by Raynes
Park Junction Tavern, the driver of STL1731 indicates his
intention to make a U-turn to return to St Helier Ave on route 32,
nominally Daimler-operated at the time.
