In February 1985, South Croydon Garage was supplied with a whole brand-new fleet of Class M double deckers for working the local routes. Many, as with M1167 shown here on its first day in service, were allocated to the New Addington routes 130 and 130B. The folly of this quickly became apparent as the buses returned to the garage covered in graffiti and with etched windows. The cerebrally-challenged local youth had been having a field day.
