| M1 Millennium Dome Service, Gas Bus at Charlton Station.
This terminus was built just for this bus service. These buses were very
frequent, but very lightly used. Extra trains served Charlton Station
for the dome. A fact that when booking tickets for the dome over the phone
the people on the other end seemed unaware of. Visitors are told to go
the Central London and come in by underground, even if they were Greenwich
residents.
