Around Chiswick Works
An ordinary `service` bus within Chiswick Works is a sight that should logically never be seen. No passing bus route used the Works as a terminus point. So what is RM 2206 doing deep within the site on 31 October 1979? It has come from Turnham Green Garage which had a long association with experimental systems being tried out on buses in service from there so my guess is that the long standing rapport has probably enabled a quick trip to the works to scrounge something that might otherwise have been waited for to get a bus back on the road. But that`s only one possibility. There could be many other reasons too. Such as routine servicing of one of the Skid Buses at Turnham Green or one of the experimental buses and the RM has gone along to bring the other driver back. Who knows....?
