| The strange structure in the background of this photo is the bus station built next to Newbury Park tube station to form a transport interchange. Of concrete construction with a copper-clad roof, the building is now listed. The main subject of this 7th April 2021 photo is Sullivan Buses EC1, the first of five Renault Zoe cars acquired to serve as crew ferry vehicles. Sullivan Buses runs many of the planned railway replacement bus services (RRBSs) around London, either with their own buses or co-ordinating the use of buses from other companies. Also, although Newbury Park is on the Central Line, it is often used by other RRBSs. For example, when the Anglia services between Ilford and Romford are suspended, RRBSs often connect these stations to Newbury Park, to allow passengers to continue their journeys by tube. Several Enviro 400 buses with RRBS blinds can be seen parked in the station car park. |
