The
diesel boats now in use are The John Burns, Ernest Bevin and James Newman,
they have been in service since 1963. At first they were side loading using
the old pontoons, with traffic queuing in Hare Street in the town centre
of Woolwich.
On 20 September 1966
the new terminals were opened now the ferries became end loading and the
traffic avoided the centre of town.
