| The third completely new bus garage to open in 1981 (after Ash Grove and Westbourne Park) was Plumstead on 31st October. Situated in what was effectively a large roundabout close to Plumstead Station, it replaced a smaller garage with the same name (located about a mile to the south east) and also Abbey Wood. This view looking almost west shows the four doorways (one of which is used as an entrance, the rest as exits) and the bus parking area in front. The resident engineers van is often kept by the small 'control booth' facing the parking area, but on this occasion it was parked next to the access road. There is talk of the garage moving again, to vacant land between the prisons and the Crossrail depot. This would allow the land shown above to be released for residential development. |
