Shame I can't quite see the garage code on that. It was carrying that CIS advert right til the end of its London days in 1987 but it was a Norwood bus then. But the BHS ads on the front look much older and the 9 was run by so many garages over the years. I know it was new to Victoria (GM) and finished at Norwood (N) and I think it was at Catford (TL) before it's last overhaul in 1984 but that would never have run the 9. I have its history upstairs but I'll have to have a look tomorrow now as I wouldn't dare wake Mrs Yoss up now.

The above site is a bit vague it only mentions what I already knew. But I'm sure it was a Dalston bus for a while and the 9A was a Sunday only route from Mortlake to Aldgate run by Mortlake and Dalston garages from about 1971 to 1981 so my money is in it being late 70s with those ads. It was certainly never a Mortlake bus, I would have remembered that, that's a garage I watched slowly die.

Dalston to Aldgate would be quite a short garage run especially on a Sunday morning. 

I've just looked up Dalston garage as I don't remember it. It was closed in 1981 which would explain why but it really was very close to where you are now. In Shrubland Road just up Queensbridge Road. If only... etc.

Apparently this happened somewhere in Australia, some time in the past. Those look like ex army Hardly Dangerouses so it could be in the late '40's when they were cheaper than horses.

Not a lot in Australia I understand.

Funny you should say that...Australia is a Roman derived name. The Latin word australis, which means 'southern'  was first used over a thousand years ago in the name of an imaginary land called Terra Australis Incognito–the Unknown Southern Land...

Those Roman's they get everywhere.

August 1966. 'This was my midnight blue Aston Martin DB6 after I'd had a run-in with another car close to my flat in Harley House, Marylebone. I'd only had it for three weeks when this happened. It cost me £200 to have it fixed,' recalls Mick Jagger.

Transport of steam boiler Trondheim Norway 1944. Both the front trucks tow the rear one. Due to the combination of 4 years of war with poor maintenance and wood gas generator, the trucks probably had little engine power left so this was necessary. They also drive on chains on the rear wheels which may be due to worn out tires.
