MB 1625. AML 625H on service 99 making its way through Woolwich Market
on a busy Saturday evening. The blind has been changed already and is showing
the bus working a short to Upper Belvedere, Eardly Arms. Since this time
the Market after decades of complaint about traffic making its way through
the market, first trams then buses, and cars has become traffic free. The
character of the market went with the traffic.
