Stratford - Leytonstone Rail Replacement

Go-Ahead London also provided buses for the Rail Replacement service, no doubt freed up by the school half-term holiday for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. PVL67, a Plaxton President-bodied Volvo B7TL allocated to the Blue Triangle base at Rainham, is seen loading at Stratford for a run to Leytonstone. A trio of blue-and-silver buses from the fleet of Ensignbus, Purfleet, are lined up behind. Ensignbus has considerable expertise in providing both pre-planned and emergency Rail Replacement services and were responsible for the overall co-ordination of the Stratford-Leytonstone service.

 

An emergency rail replacement service operated between Stratford and Leytonstone from the afternoon of Wednesday 6th June until the following afternoon. This was following flooding of the tunnel between Stratford and Mile End, which closed the Central Line between Bethnal Green and Leytonstone.
