Shooters Hill, East Side


A late Autumn or an Early Christmas? A bit of each probably. In this photograph taken on 13 November 2001 can be seen a Christmas tree outside Thompsons nursery in Shooter Hill Road, the trees have just started to get their autumn colours at this late stage. The water tower can be seen at the top of the hill.

The bus one of 17 DAFs with East Lancs Myllennium bodywork. with registrations VxxxGMT. Designated MD. Three of these buses (MD 8, 9 and 10) used gas fuel. This is one of these as can be seen by the pair of tanks carried on the roof.

Looking in the same direction from a little further down the road towards Welling, looking even greener. This is MD2. V2 GMT. One of the standard buses without the roof tanks. These buses were used on the Dome sevices M1 and M2, the globe motif can still be seen on the sides of these buses. Although designated MD, the fleet number carried was 2002.
