This timetable is taken from June 1968 Road and Rail timetable dated 15 June 1968,It is odd that South Croydon garage journeys were mentioned when TC allocation was withdrawn November 1967. I compared with September 1968 Red Book entry and the times are identical but no mention of South Croydon Garage |
