Looking south from the end of Union Road. The bus is on Route 157, which now operates Morden Station to Crystal Palace. This bus route was put on in 1960 to replace the 657, one of the last trolleybus routes in Croydon, which itself had, in the 1930's, replaced tram route 57, this having originated with the South Metropolitan company in pre-London Transport days. The present-day 157 is operated by Abellio, a subsidiary of Nederlandse Spoorwegen, and the buses carry the NS logo.
