Chelsham Garage - Special Services Bromley North or West Croydon to Biggin Hill Air Display |
For many years Chelsham Garage supplied buses for the special services to and from the Biggin Hill Air Displays. The buses carried white on blue desination blind displays. There were two routes operated, 410 non-stop between Bromley North and Biggin Hill and a special service running non-stop between Croydon and Biggin Hill via Sanderstead, Warlingham, Chelsham Garage, Worms Heath, Botley Hill and Westerham which are featured in this album of my photos. |
