Changeover
point Bromley Garage.
SJ Swanley
Changeover point as below
Y Orpington
Base
The changeover point for buses towards Bromley North
is at Orpington Pond (Carlton Parade)
Towards Chislehurst is Goodmead Road.
Early and Late journeys run dead to and from (Y) -:
to start or finish at either Chislehurst or Bromley North.
(As far as I know the same points would have been used while the Garage was
at Swanley, with ferry cars transporting drivers)
Some extra info for you (thought it may be of interest)
Orpington has a fleet of ferry cars which take the drivers to/from the changeover
points at Orpington pond/Goodmead Rd for routes 61,R1,R3,R4,and R11.These
are actual duties and are covered by drivers stood down usually for medical
reasons.
(You should see the duty card something like 18-20 rounders).
