A selection of photographs taken in the early 1970's.

RF319 is parked up between spells of
work in the overflow yard for Kingston Garage, which was in the old railway
coal yard across the road. The board on the side explains the minimum fares
that apply at the Kingston end of toute 218 to Staines, whereby short-journey
passengers are discouraged from using the low-capacity buses when alternative
double-deck routes exist.

A
rather grubby RF525 is dwarfed by a very smart DMS1357, which had only been in
service for a week.

RF530 is squeezed into the bus station
outside Morden station, between trips on route 80 into Surrey suburbia.
