I think Mortlake was a favourite garage with London Transport enthusiasts. They were certainly friendly to me the day I visited letting me wander inside to photograph stored RM1, RTW 467 and others. Also not only was their Showbus RM 1563 turned out nicely all their buses were usually very tidy. I had a girlfriend with me this day and perhaps more for her benefit the driver got out his comb and did his hair making her laugh. It was only a smallish garage with an allocation of about 37 by the Seventies although in the days of the RTL it had been 57. It only did one other route apart from 9 the very long 73. This garage was a hit with me too as they ran Leyland powered RM's, after all I do reside well north of Watford Gap where the M1 ends lol.
