2. RTWs were not permitted to operate alongside which type of L.T. PSV?
3. Which was the furthest southerly point served by RTWs?

Good questions but I think we need a bit of clarification..
Q1 Do you mean an allocation of RTW's while STILL a trolleybus depot or as an ex trolleybus depot.
Q2 Are we talking about the RTW trials period here or in its inner London service days? Q3 Is this a regular RTW allocation rather than an odd use of an RTW?. I have a picture of a RTW on the 93 but that was as a sub.

Good points. Q1 It was a former trolleybus depot and had obviously become a bus garage. Doubt very much whether any depots ran trolleys and RTWs at the same time.
Q2 I think the restriction applied after the width trials had been completed (and would have operated for a shortish time for one very good reason!)
Q3 Yes a regular RTW allocation - (RTW on the 93 - I like it (did it run thru to Dorking?))

Question ! has to be Bow (Bus/trolleybus & bus /tram operation not as rare as you might think, CA operatied both buses and trams for a while and WW, WN, FY, WH and HT operated trolleys and RMs along side each other for various periods during the conversion).
Question 2 Tram?
Question 3 South Croydon Garage- Rte 109 from BN
picture of RTW on 93 is heading to Putney Bridge, but it would have gone out to Epsom at that time I would have thought .

Answers:
1. Yes, Bow was the only one 2. RTWs not permitted to run alongside trams (but may have done so during 1950 width trials) 3. Actually Riddlesdown on 57A (Sundays) en route to Selsdon. They also ran on 109s to Purley (slightly further north).
