D Dalston
Regarding the working arrangements from Dalston garage, perhaps I may submit the following recollections as one who worked there as a conductor in 1979-1980. Dalston garage was some distance away from the Shoreditch terminus and in London Transport tradition buses running out of and into the garage worked as garage journeys, in this case via Hackney Road, carrying fare-paying passengers, although these arrangements were never publicised on route maps and on bus stop display panels so only regular passengers knew about them. Otherwise, the procedure for travelling from the garage to Shoreditch was to walk the approximately 500 metres to Hackney Well Street bus stop along the main road (in theory you could take the 236 bus from the stop in front of the garage to travel round but these were days when the London bus service was extremely unreliable and you could well wait 45 minutes for a 236 despite the scheduled 15-minute headway so crews didn’t bother) and pick up a number 6 or 35 from there. I can’t remember how much time was allotted for this but I never recall arriving at Shoreditch late, so it must have been adequate, although given the unreliability of the bus service at the time I suspect at times the crew would have arrived late due to the long wait for a bus and would have set out on a curtailed trip because of this. There was only a small Dalston contingent on the route and quite a lot of the buses ran in and out of the garage at the end or start of a stint of duty, so some of the duties on this route involved a meal break at the garage, while the meal break on others was at Shoreditch. There was an interesting arrangement on Sundays. The canteen at Shoreditch was inside the sparsely used underground station there and it was shut on Sundays along with the canteen. In those days, the Transport and General Workers Union had a lot of clout and one of its requirements was that a London Transport staff canteen be available at the time wherever meal breaks were taken. Since there was no canteen at Shoreditch on Sundays and Dalston’s contingent on the 47 ran constantly from morning to night with no garage journeys, the solution was to make Liverpool Street, where there was a large canteen servicing route 11 crews, the meal break venue on Sundays. I remember there was a clever bit of scheduling that London Transport was so good at whereby just the first relief crew had to travel by public transport to Liverpool Street, and each crew that was relieved took over from the next crew to come off, at least 50 minutes or so later to allow for the walking time of about five minutes each way to the canteen plus the required minimum 40-minute meal break, and the final crew to be relieved had to travel back to the garage by public transport. The route to and from Liverpool Street was the one used by crews on the 11 route, i.e. once more to walk to the Hackney Well Street bus stop, pick up either a 106 or 253 to Bethnal Green Station and then take the Central Line for a one-stop journey to Liverpool Street.
