RT 1678 Ilford

RT 1678, of North Street (Romford) garage (NS) it would seem has just arrived at or is just about to leave the stand in, IIRC, Argyle Road, Ilford. Whatever, it will eventually turn left into York Road, for a long time the layover point for buses from the north terminating at Ilford station.

 

For many years the 139 ran from Gants Hill station to Dagenham Dock, but in 1975 was extended to Ilford station and diverted away from Eastern Avenue between the Barley Lane and Whalebone Lane junctions to the Rose Lane Estate. Once an entirely Seven Kings (AP) route, NS worked Monday-Friday services from 1972.
