I have a feeling its Tolworth (TV) Well done Vjaska , now everyone knows the garage, it should make some of the other questions easier. Question 7 : TV garage code is correct, in case anyone is wondering, the more logical TW was already used by Tunbridge Wells

Question 7 : TV garage code is correct, in case anyone is wondering, the more logical TW was already used by Tunbridge Wells Very true, but the re-use of former codes is not unknown. Ash Grove (originally AG-logical) has now become AE (but goodness knows why), the old LGOC code for Hendon. C, now used for Croydon, was originally allocated to Athol Street, Poplar. Another 'double' is First's code for Lea Interchange, formerly Waterden Road (H), originally allocated to the garage in Well Street Hackney. It is true to say that First do not display garage codes on vehicles however (shame on them!). These are just a few that come to mind, I am sure there are others.
