Walthamstow WW

Walthamstow bus garage opened for trams in 1905, was converted for trolleybuses in 1937 and buses from 1960. This view dates from the early 1970s, with the former tramway offices in the foreground. The garage was closed by London Transport in 1994, during the run up to privatisation. The office building survives, now on the corner of a new road, Omnibus Way.
