| London Transport opened a new bus garage in Peckham in 1951, built on the site of Thomas Tilling's Bull Yard. Seen inside the garage on 22nd August 1987 was Ford Escort van 3518F, identified only with fleetnumbers. This van had been leased in June 1987 as a replacement for similar 3173F, and was assigned to Selkent District. It was withdrawn in 1990 but went on to serve subsequent owners for a further 10 years, during which time it was repainted yellow. The garage itself was closed in 1994 and demolished, buses then working from a smaller premises further from the town centre. In 1987 the trunk 36/A/B family of routes was still in the hands of Routemaster buses, but the Leyland Titan was becoming dominant on other local services. Both types can be seen in the background. |
