| Henley Road Bus Garage in North Woolwich opened in spring 2021 and is not particularly photogenic, being an open yard surrounded by blue hoarding. It was initially used to operate route 69, with new BYD double-deckers, and is barely a stone's throw from the existing Silvertown Garage, also run by Go-Ahead London. No buses run in London on Christmas Day, so most garages are full to the brim. This didn't seem to be the case when I passed Henley Road - perhaps some of the buses had been moved elsewhere. One difference was that vehicles had been used to block the three entrances, including two crew ferry minibuses and one training bus. This view was taken from Albert Road, looking south-east across the parallel Factory Road. For many years these two roads were separated by the North Woolwich railway line. Part of that route has now been used by the Elizabeth Line, and the tunnel portal for this is just out of shot to the right, while a ventilation/access point is just out of shot to the left. The minibus by the way is RX18LLJ. |
