Comment from Darren Parmenter

For information, UPTON PARK BUS GARAGE had two entrances/exits - PRIORY ROAD and REDCLYFFE ROAD and my understanding for the WEST HAM GARAGE drivers changing closer to Upton Park on a Sunday was purely due to the nearest place where a canteen was open.  There was a very popular café at The Boleyn that was closed on Sundays!
