Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Tram, Seven Sisters Road, Finsbury Park, 1922
Seven Sisters Road at Blackstock Road in 1922. Two L.C.C trams, 'Class A' No.73 (1903) and 'Class D' No.307 (1904) seen at the three track section, necessary due to the longer loading/unloading times required by the high number of interchange passengers Tube/Tram. The middle track was worked in the direction of the peak traffic.. Route 31 (Euston Road - Palmers Green) was a short working of the 29 tram (Euston Road - Enfield).
A L.G.O.C. K-type bus (built at Walthamstow) on route 78, which in 1922 worked Dulwich- Finsbury Park. The 78 was cut back to today's northern terminus at Shoreditch more than eighty years ago.

Ahh... gone are the days when you could jump on and off a public transport vehicle whilst it was moving, trying not to get yourself killed in the process. How I miss the 29 Routemaster. Happy days ...

Unfortunately, you can't run a Routemaster without a conductor.. Over the years, Conductors became too expensive and London's taxpayers just weren't too keen on supporting them .. c'est la vie..
