Operating Garages

TB Bromley
Changeover point Bromley Garage.

SP Sidcup
Changeover point Well Hall Station ?

SJ Swanley
Changeover point as below

Y  LiveOrpington 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).
