RT4017 on route 122

London Transport RT4017 is at Plumstead Corner on route 122 going to Bexleyheath Garage. In the 50s this was a bus route which terminated at a trolleybus depot.

 

The roads look very quite, but this was a Sunday in the days before seven day shopping.

 

The original route of the 122 was Bexleyheath - Woolwich. It was later extended to Crystal Palace. Subsequently it was cut between Woolwich and Bexleyheath, now almost all of the original route is no longer served just a little bit between Woolwich and the garage at Plumstead.

 

May 1971.
