 |
|---|
| A study of the timetable shows that the last Mon-Fri departure from London Bridge is shown as terminating at the Askew Arms, I would imagine it would then follow Trolleybus Route 607 and terminate at Hanwell Garage (HW). This practise would end when HW lost the allocation in October of that year |
