A London bus is seen on the up platform. RTW 185 (KLB915) entered service in 1949 at Putney Bridge garage on route 85. 1950-1952 she was at Tottenham garage, 1953-7 back at Putney Bridge, 1958-1961 at Willesdon, finishing public service at Bow in 1962. Between 1963 to 1970 she was a trainer, mostly based at Muswell Hill. She was purchased by Frazer Clayton of Baynards in 1971 and is regularly shown at bus rallies. It is assumed Frazer Clayton is still the station owner.Photo

The up platform at Baynards station in May 1976. The RTW bus doesn't appear in more recent photos so it is unclear if Frazer Clayton is still the owner.
