The Number 494 & 495 Routes (Not)


Again with thanks to E-Plates we have learnt that these were outer London routes – the 494 running between Oxted and East Grinstead and the 495 closer to where we were last week on the 492, namely from Northfleet to the Christianfields Estate, which would appear to be a mixed estate of council owned and privately owned Wates-style houses in Gravesend.
