Last day of operation, the Rotherhithe Tunnel section left un served, Rotherhithe Street section covered by new flat fare service P2

COMMENT
The buses used for this route were equipped with specially reinforced tyres because of the constant rubbing of the kerb in the narrow Rotherithe Tunnel. It is also a strange coincidence that the next reserrection of Route 82 also used a tunnel.
On the destination blind I have inserted Blackwall Tunnel as the garage ultimate but this is guessing , if this is wrong and you know, pass it on.
