CLAPHAM COMMON Old Town, Clapham Park, Thornton Avenue, Streatham Hill, Streatham Vale, Mitcham Common, MORDEN STN
Diverted via Thornton Avenue instead of via BN Garage replacing withdrawn section of 137. The 137 was diverted via BN Garage, so in fact the two routes just swapped routeings.
BN allocation transferred to Streatham (AK) which would have been more convenient for changeovers and as a result the Route was converted to Olympian operation.
