East Thames DWL 34 on route 108 passing under the railway bridge in
Westcombe Hill. The pathway on the right leads to Westcombe Park station.
Untill the A102 was built Westcombe Hill was the main road from Blackheath
to Greenwich. The lower part of the road is now called Farmdale Road, it
was cut in half by the building of the A102.

London Central PVL366 on route 422 in Westcombe Hill on the way to
Bexleyheath from North Greenwich Station. The 422 replaced the Woolwich
to Bexleyheath part of the 122 with a few changes. Then extended to North
Greenwich Station.

Arriva 3272 on route 286 in Westcombe Hill on the way to Sidcup. The
286 replaced part of the 108a between Greenwich and Eltham. It was then
extended to cover the 228 from Eltham to Sidcup.
Before the A102 was built traffic for Blackwall Tunnel would queue in
this road and through Greenwich if there was a problem in the tunnel playing
havoc with bus services in the area. Now traffic queues on the flyover.

London Central PVL 13 on route 422 just passed under the Westcombe
Hill railway bridge. These photographs were taken from the footbridge over
the A102 and Westcombe Hill. This bridge leads from Farmdale Road to Westcombe
Park station. For those who watch East Enders, this is the bridge from
which Andy Hunter met his end.
