Mm 2006, as it is on the bus. On the new route 486, North Greenwich Station
- Charlton Station - Charlton - Queen Elisabeth Hospital - Shooter Hill
- Welling. The extended M1 dome service with a new number seen here in
Belgrove Road, Welling on a bitterly cold bright sunny day. The Dome motif
can still be seen on the side of the bus. This the first day of operation,
Saturday 24 February 2001. The marks on the picture are due to vandalism
to the front window of the bus from which the photograph was taken, a sign
of the times?

| One of the gas operated buses on route 486, seen here in Shooters Hill
Road on Sunday 25 February 2001. The bus is about to turn into Baker Road
at the new junction layout. In the background the Water Tower of 'The Brook
Hospital' a view of this can be seen from much of the area. The water tower
and the gatehouse are all that remain of the hospital. It is now the Brook
Village estate. The brook in question is the Kid Brook, which lends its
name to much of SE3.
The 486 is run by London Central from New Cross Garage. Photograph. John King. |
