Route 161/A - a photo on Flickriver

Route 161/A

            I have always had a soft spot for route 161. For most of the time I lived en-route in Eltham it was operated by my favourite buses - RTs. It was (and is) a busy and frequent service starting in leafy Chislehurst (the 161a went even further to Petts Wood) it went up and down several hills, served historic Eltham, swooped down alongside Woolwich Common past the magnificent RA barracks and terminated in the grim riverside town of Woolwich with its Ferry and mighty Arsenal. The RTs hurried effortlessly and gracefully about their work. The 161 was operated by Sidcup garage and the 161a by Abbey Wood.   In this mid-70s view a 161 swings out of the terminal stand at Chislehurst War Memorial. Nowadays the bus would be struggling to force its way across the traffic and into a line of even more cars backing up from the lights.
