Waterden Garage open day - 25/6 (at Stratford)

DLA365 · 16th June 2005, 00:28

From www.lots.org.uk:

Saturday 25 June.

The Stratford Waterden Road open day on Sat 25/6 now from 10.30 am rather than 11am. There will be several special bus services with interesting vehicles over parts of routes 25 and 86, and local open-top bus tours as well

It is hoped that Cobham's RML 3 might make a trip on the 8, so for those who missed it a year ago, now is the chance to try it out!

Yes - it will work the 10:00 from Victoria and 12:45 (I presume from Waterden Road), as well as a couple of afternoon trips.

Another piece of information is that Blue Triangle's RTW 75 will run from Victoria at 1015 and 1615, and Waterden Road Garage at 1145 and 1745 on the 8. This service will omit Bow Church.
