Route S2 replaced the 208 in 1970, initially using the same
routing along Cadogan Terrace with the wider buses (although we
didn't try that this time). Cobham's SMS is seen at the
Bromley terminus.

The interior of the SMS recalls the shock to Londoners of
the
Bus Reshaping Plan.

TD95 was well-loaded for its journeys on the 236, a route it
last worked in 1958. It is attracting some customers new
since that day.

The AEC Swifts may have come to the 236 later than the RFs, but
it is still 25 years since they worked in London. The
SMS was heavily loaded on this working.

The TD heads up Victoria Park Road. The chicanes weren't
there in the 1950s and without powered steering are rather a
nuisance.
