The row of shops at The
Woodstock, between Morden and North Cheam, are still
there but somewhat
modernised! In this view, Scooter LT1071 is heading for

Although we shall not be running the
213A, I could not resist this shot of Sutton
garage's RT1599 at exactly the same spot of the
Scooter above, 15 years later in 1964.

Suttons' RT2212 leads a Routemaster on the 118
at Morden in the 1970s. The RT
carries route and via blinds for the
164A, but if it really is going to Epsom Station,
it is operating the 164, not the 164A (the routes
were inter-worked on Sundays,
perhaps this was the cause). We will
run the 164, but not the 164A.
