Unfortunately, the
photogenic old Kingston Bus Station is no more.
Here RFs 465, 421 and
392 line up for the camera.
RF421 will run the 216 on
22 March, not the 218.

Thank you again to all the photographers that support our
events and contribute pictures to our galleries. Please keep
them coming!
Operations are on public roads. Please stay
safe when taking photographs, keep to the pavements and make
sure you do not obstruct any TfL bus operations.
Send us your pictures,
for this site
We will be putting up a gallery of pictures of the event, as
we did for Worcester Park (
here),
Carshalton (
here) and Hackney Marshes
(
here). We 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.
LocationsA selection of places that might be good for
photography:
·
Kingston High Street (routes 215/A, 218, 219,
715/A) (Graham B suggests the junction with South
Lane as a good place for nearside shots if sunny, but says
beware of the woman in the Hermes Hotel at 'banana island', who
takes exception to cameras).
·
Kingston Bridge (routes 216, 264)
·
Dittons Winters Bridge (routes 201, 215/A,
218, 219, 715/A)
· Esher
Church Street (routes 206/A, 218, 219,
416)
·
Hampton Court Vrow Walk (routes 216, 264) and
Station (routes 201, 206)
·
Hersham Green (routes 219, 264)
·
Sunbury Village (route 216)
· Walton
Bridge (routes 218, 264)
If you know the area, you may have other ideas for
photo-opportunities. Share them with us
here and we will look at adding
them to the list.
The other end of the 216 and 218 is also no
longer accessible to buses, so the road run to Staines will not
visit Staines West Station, where RFs 492 and 381 lay over.
