Hi John. RFW of course correct. The RFs were in fact non-standard Regal IVs. Q7 not a Central Area garage.
There was a good reason why Q1 1768 was not exported.

Okedoke, here's the answers: 1. West Drayton-Staines West (1965) Routes 225 and 444 2. 300 (RT) by 300 (GS) through Dartford Tunnel 3. Windsor (via Eton) and Staines bridges and Dartford Tunnel 4. RFW (at 8ft wide). RFs were the exception 5. Because it had non-standard electrical equipment (and indeed with LT collection) 6. Woolwich free ferry (for Charlton works) and possibly for BX vehicles to connect to main system 7. Tunbridge Wells 8. Chessington Zoo indeed
