What's changed since 3rd September:
* 197, which still starts in Croydon High Street, has taken over the
312 route from Norwood Junction.

i.e. the extended 197 has taken over the old 312 route north of Norwood
Junction up to Peckham.


And the 312 was the southern extension of the original 12 which in my
younger days ran from South Croydon Garage to East Acton


How long did that take?!


I did it once with a mate, just for the sheer hell of it, but can't
remeber how long it took, but it was longer than the last time I went
from Hounslow to Peckham on a 37, also some time in the early 80's
