400 CM New Addington - Warlingham Park Hospital (limited stop: Sundays) The 400 was an excellent idea at the wrong moment. It linked New Addington, an isolated suburban dormitory plonked on the back-slopes of the North Downs after the war, with Warlingham Park Hospital on Sundays. Excellent idea. But it was introduced in June 1958, just when London Transport was reeling with the effects of the six-week total strike. It ran until October 1958, when L.T. swung the axe and cut many services, this one included. It operated through narrow country lanes between the terminals, as a rather slow express service. The lanes were so narrow and twisting that LT paid for a police motorcycle escort! Chelsham garage provided the one GS needed from its 464 group allocation.
