===Putney (AF)=== [[File:Putney Bus Garage (geograph 7388686).jpg|thumb|Forecourt of [[Putney]] bus garage from Chelverton Road, January 2023]] As of July 2023, [[Putney]] garage operates routes [[London Buses route 14|14]], [[London Buses route 22|22]], [[London Buses route 39|39]], [[London Buses route 74|74]], [[London Buses route 209|209]], [[London Buses route 265|265]], [[London Buses route 378|378]], [[London Buses route 430|430]], [[London Buses route 533|533]], [[London Buses route N22|N22]], [[London Buses route N74|N74]] and [[London Buses route N97|N97]]. ====History==== With its ancestry going back to the horse bus days of the 1880s, Chelverton Road Garage was converted to a motor-bus garage in 1912. The garage is well hidden in a side road with a modest frontage, yet it has an allocation of 112. It has been modernised twice, firstly in 1935 and then again in 1985. The garage was well known for being allocated the pre-war RTs in 1940, which displaced the STLs. During the war the garage was under-utilised and was used to store de-licensed buses. Renamed Putney, in 1963, after the closure of [[Putney Bridge]] Garage (F), it started to receive both short and long wheelbase [[AEC Routemaster]]s for its Central London routes. The Routemasters remained at the garage until July 2005, when both the 14 and 22 were converted to low floor one-person-operated buses.
