Turnham Green & Stamford Brook Garages

The only turning point for a late running 27 heading to Teddington once past Richmond was Twickenham Station where RM 1893 is pictured on 3 May 1982.

Not the best of photos as it looks like some sort of antenna is fitted to the roof!

 

Prior to the arrival of many ex Mortlake Leyland RM`s into Stamford Brook, this was one of just two Leylands there. It was also a bizarre example of illogical planning by Rolling Stock in being withdrawn as a fit, serviceable bus just a few weeks after passing its equivalent of an MOT with months of ticket left to run. It was even questioned at the time but the decision was upheld to withdraw it.
