CR Crayford

I worked for Boroline in 1989/90 from Crayford base - the crew change over point for 422 was at Bexleyheath Market Place - a Ford Transit minibus was used for crew ferry work (but things didn't always go to plan - I recall being at the depot one evening when there was a call from the LT controller complaining that there were five Boroline buses "abandoned" and obstructing the stand at Bexleyheath - and a bunch of drivers who were in the depot having just signed off were rounded up and sent in the Transit to each bring a bus back!
