View from the Platform


From the platform of a routemaster, probably on route 180 we see RT4447 (OLD667) on route 177 following. This is somewhere in the back streets of Greenwich or Charlton during a diversion. Does anyone know where?
June 1970.

The picture from the platform was taken in Denham St, East Greenwich to the left of the picture now stands Jet petrol stn. The road opp is Halstow Rd the large houses in the background are in Humber Rd,now partially obscured by large pre fab building,hope you find info useful. 

Looking from an RM platform again at Plumstead Bridge and the station. The bus going over the bridge is an MB on route 99 or 122a. The RT is on route 192 emerging from Griffin Hill. This is the point now where Plumstead Road dual carriage way narrows and joins Plumstead High Street.

An RT runs light over a not long opened Bricklayers Arms fly over. At this time it is two lanes wide, now it is only one. Service buses can be seen going the long way round at the bottom.
