When Cowie's Grey Green Coaches tendered for London Transport's 24 Route from Hampstead Heath to Pimilico few would have guessed that the operator would form the nucleus of what is today called Arriva. Grey Green's buses looked smart and eye-catching so it's a pity they didn't keep the same colours, as Arriva's 'women friendly' garb reminds me of a plastic bottle of toilet cleaner which doesn't do the operator much justice. When I took this late afternoon view of No.124 almost in shadow I was pushing the boat out a bit as I wanted another record of Gillingham Street garage in the background which was about to be closed.
