it was thirty two years ago today that Mortlake Garage closed.
A few days before closure I took many pictures of Mortlake buses along the 9 and 33 routes such as this one at Richmond on June 20 1983. The chrome wheel trims had been removed by Neil T in preparation for the transfer of RM 1354 to Camberwell as they probably wouldn`t have been appreciated there. It was this bus that was the first to be `fully chromed` at Mortlake.
