Two last days:
Bendybuses - The last day.Wood Green Garage. The Bendybuses were operated by Lea Valley Garage, but used WN to terminate.

Fifty years earlier- the scene wasn't much different:
K1 1281 Trolleybus leaves the depot to take up service for the evening peak on 25th April 1961, the last day of service of routes 627(EM, WN), 629(WN), 659(EM) & 679(EM).
Wood Green depot wasn't on the line of route of the 627, so buses ran in and out of service via Lordship Line & Bruce Grove. There were some complicated workings (because trollybuses had to follow the wires) such as:
Wood Green WN Depot > Tottenham Hale > Waltham Cross
Tottenham Court Road > Tottenham (Snells Park) > Tottenham Hale > Wood Green WN DepotAfter the withdrawal of route 625 in April 1960 some conductors still used the number 625 from Wood Green To Tottenham Hale.. The only case of a route number still being used after the route was officially withdrawn.
A RM can be seen in the background on 'the stand'. This is an 'off-peak' working of route 275 (the 625s replacement) to Wood Green.
