These things are a pain in the backside causing aggravation to people trying to get around London.My son and daughter in law live In Abbey Wood they come up to see me in Northamptonshire every other Sunday,they’re due to come up on the 28th,now with the Blackwell Tunnel closed and road closures in East London they probably won’t be able to make it.Just so some tw*ts can ride round on their bikes.

I assume these trains have outside door cocks,if so why didn’t they open doors via cocks on cars in platform and detain passengers that way?

Thought when BW was a trolley bus depot the 25 was based at the old Clayhall Garage(CL) which was in the area The Eastway is now.

In the mid 60s even though it was an RM route used to see the odd RTL in the early morning chugging along Hoe St towards Chingford.

From the dim and distant past I recall the 86 blinded to "Limehouse - Londoner" - assume that this refers to a long-gone pub - wonder if this is linked to the Burdett Road stand...? The Londoner at Limehouse was previously the Eastern Hotel which name also appeared on blinds of the day. The 86 and others which terminated there at one time did so by U-turning in the width of the carriageway in West India Dock Road. The Burdett Road stand was considerably enlarged during the 1980s iirc but the 86 beyond Stratford became increasingly unreliable and infrequent. The 395 was preceded by the P14 which used small Metroriders through the Rotherhithe Tunnel but even those would be too large for today's restrictions. Buses cannot pass through. It was never a busy route even when crew-worked RTLs (and latterly RTs)on the 82 were the offering. If that’s at the junction of Burdett Rd & the A13 for a short time in the 80s the 278 terminated there before it was withdrawn from east London.
