Strategic Reserve? ;-)


Not as daft as it sounds. I went past a while back and there was only
one and now there is more than the one.

Also does anyone why there is a derelict number 11 RM outside
WImbledon signalbox.


Railway replacement service standby?


Presumably they have to put them somewhere whilst awaiting sale and/or
scrapping. On the last evening of the '38 I saw a sad convoy of 4 or 5
Routemasters leaving Hackney for the last time with their number &
destination blinds already removed. Maybe the usual dealers have run
out of space to put them.
