Carshalton Depot pictures
The forecourt of CN, Christmas Day 1959, with
RTs 543 and 1329 ready to run out on
the 630 (RT1844 was already out) and RT287
awaiting a run on the 154. Did Alan Cross
miss the turkey and Christmas pud to take these
pictures?

One of a series of picutures believed to have
been taken by John L Smith ( Lens of
Sutton), showing withdrawn trolleybuses being driven
away to the scrapyard a couple of days
after they came out of service on 3 March
1959. Note the newly-overhauled RT in the left
side of the garage, still showing Private
blinds from its transfer in.

The depot looks rather large
for a run-out of only 25 trolleybuses, which
is why the trolleybuses did
not need to leave immediately the replacement
buses arrived.

Below, we see 78 again, this
time sitting on the forecourt awaiting its crew.
