6 None, No buses use Battersea High Street. The terminus there is called Battersea Princes Head. There were two scheduled journies on a particular route, Saturdays only duties 163 and 168, and the destination WAS Battersea, High Street although the stand is/was the same as that used for the Prince`s Head.
7 80 and?
8 31, 19 and 49. 31 correct. The 19 used Chelsea, Cheyne Walk for GM garage journeys and the 49 did not use this display

If the 11 is wrong for Q4 you need to rephrase your question. both are commonly used destinations on the 11


So let me get this right, they had destination blinds for two scheduled journies only on a Saturday that showed Battersea High Street although the stand used was the Prince's Head?
Although I guessesd route 31, there is also no record of route 31 buses showing Chelsea Beaufort Street on the blinds, Battersea garage was the normal destination for garage runs from the Stanley Arms.

TRAFALGAR SQUARE & VICTORIA was a one line destination, not two seperates.

BATTERSEA, High Street was displayed and the stand used was the same as that for buses showing BATTERSEA, Princes Head. Confusing but true. And the blinds did not have a Princes Head display.

Battersea NN blind dated B 11.06.77 has CHELSEA, Beaufort Street.

Battersea NN blind dated B 11.06.77 has CHELSEA, Beaufort Street.

This destination is listed as a 319 destination for Brixton buses and a 349 destination for Streatham buses. Both routes have Battersea High Street, so apologies for doubting this, it would appear that latterley the Princes Head has been dropped in favour of Battersea High Street.

B may have also had Beaufort Street on the blinds, but are you sure it was ever used by Battersea buses or even if it was for the 31 and not the 19 or 49? (Although none of the histories of any of these routes show it as used). As far as the 31 goes, it seems odd to have a destination that is halfway between the normal terminus and the garage. Did CF also have this on their blinds?

We used to use Chelsea, Beaufort Street for garage journeys on the 31. The last stop was that at the junction with Cheyne Walk.

I have to say I didn`t know that 319s and 349s had Battersea, High Street either.
