1) - Is one of them Sutton? Can never remember between that and AL ;D 2) - that would be KX 3) - TH, Thornton HeaTH 6) - Current is Croydon with Metrobus, no idea about the others 7) - BX Bexleyheath. Also suffered the highest single casualty rate during the war too 8) KX and RA? 9) - FW Fullwell 10) - Walthamstow (WW), Hounslow Heath (HH) and Hemel Hempstead (HH) 12) - WH West Ham 13) - WN Wood Green?? 17) - I'm guessing something to do with a relaxation of sizes of the introduction of Trolleybuses? 18) - Hammersmith (Riverside). Believe it has an allocation on either the 9 or 25 at one point too, could be wrong ;D Well done 7) is BX, but not sure how you are defining highest casualty rate as Croydon had 58 buses completely destroyed in raids overnight 10-11 May 1941, did BX beat this ? 8) Not sure about RA, I was thinking of Harrow which Vjaska got 13) wasn't Wood Green 17) not the reason that I'm looking for

Not 100% sure though .

Think it was a doodlebug that had a direct hit, made around 20 odd vehicles need rebodying and had numerous vehicles transferred in from other depots.

Yes there is no restriction at RA. 8) Not sure about RA, I was thinking of Harrow which Vjaska got RA used to hold the 11 before it moved to SW so I think it can hold deckers. Not 100% sure though .

correct. When pvr started being cut in 1958, there was no need for extra garages, a few opened in early 1960s (mainly in New Towns around London), then nothing until 1980s
