Is the old 'Tottenham Swan' still 'Tottenham High Cross'? 'Tottenham Bus Garage' would be more fitting I think. Is that for the 76? Because the one for that route is "Tottenham, Town Hall". Not too sure, I haven't worked on the buses for a long while now, I just remember seeing it as a destination!

It's no longer used as a destination display for any Arriva or GAL route, with the destination 'Tottenham, Town Hall' used instead of Tottenham, Bus Garage &/or Tottenham, High Cross'

Took them long enough! The only time I've seen 'Fair Cross' as a destination was a photo of the publicity launch of the RT taken in the Aldwych, plated up as a '9' with Fair Cross as its destination. Sorry can't remember which publication it was in. Unfortunately, the correct spelling is Faircross- it was used as a qualifier by Ensign back when they operated the 62 (showing Barking FAIRCROSS. Incidentally, the bus stop opposite the garage has been renamed "Barking Bus Garage" with the old Upney Lane stop (the Royal Oak/Barking Abbey School side) has been renamed Faircross. Similar to this, Becontree Bennetts Castle Lane became Longbridge Road (Bennetts Castle Lane) and I believe now is just plain old Bennetts Castle Lane (to be honest, I've not seen the turn used for a while on the 5/145) The 5 also has a "Five Elms" turn that never gets used

I thought there was only Nine Five Elms is the parade of shops on Wood Lane between Valance Avenue and Heathway- I'm not sure where the buses would turn round. Other turns that no longer exist as far as I know are Mayesbrook Park and Lodge Avenue (Maplestead Road) on the 368

The Greenwich stand on the 1A at least was blinded as 'GREENWICH Seamans Hospital'. The latest LBM also reminds me that the 108B displayed GREENWICH CHURCH for the Greenwich terminus. So the same point has variously been: GREENWICH CHURCH GREENWICH Seamans Hospital GREENWICH Cutty Sark and Maritime Museum and now GREENWICH Cutty Sark Is there a plain GREENWICH blind?

East Thames used just plain 'Greenwich' for the cutty sark turns for a few years.

The E400H on the E1 now uses Greenford Broadway as a destination instead of Greenford Red Lion.

New Cross Garage is now New Cross Gate used by the 36 and also the 321 that terminates at New Cross ( sainsburys )

Anyone know why the 33 is not blinded as 'Fulwell Station' rather than 'Fulwell', Stanley Road' seeing as that's it's last stop. Stanley Road starts in Teddington so it seems very misleading.

Why not have it show 'Fulwell Garsge' and be done with it?

Why not have it show 'Fulwell Garsge' and be done with it? I know it shows 'Fulwell, Stanley Road' but Stanley Road doesn't finish at the bus stop and I'd hazard a guess that 'Fulwell' begins much further down Stanley Road. I wouldn't use 'Fulwell Garage' either because not everyone knows that the garage is split between Abellio & London United. If your looking for the London United garage, the 33 won't take you there. The bus stop the 33 terminates at is called 'Fulwell Station' so I don't see the problem with that being used for the blind. One guy who got on at Teddington asked the driver, "Do you go to Fulwell Station?" and yet was going to the garage open day at Fulwell.
