The 1970's
The 59 was an utterly bonkers service. A trunk route right across London that only ran on Sundays! It only ran for London Transport's operating convenience and no other reason. But it ran for many years!
By this date it had been RM or RML operated for a long time - but on this occasion a friend 'arranged' an RT on it. This was West Hampstead. The other end of the route was Old Coulsdon. If they tried that now I imagine a round trip wouldn't be possible within a driver's permitted hours without a break, such is the state of congestion!
