Custom House Quay was for many years a one-way bus street. The 151
goes via Custom House Quay towards East Road only, the 15A/B used the
quay in this same direction in the past. Even when the 90 was extended
towards New Wapping Street, it also served only in this direction. The
one "regular" bus service exception was the few 53As that operated up
until April 2012, not including the multitude of commercial services
that set-down only in this location. The completion of Rosie Hackett
Bridge and the contra-flow in front of Custom House brought a partial
revival in more recent times, but it was peak hour only and the
stopping places of these peak hour routes could be haphazard. With the
introduction of the G-Spine, Custom House Quay has a proper frequent
bi-directional service, but also new stop infrastructure. Stop 7397 is
a new favourite stop of mine, with buses nicely framed by the harp
strings of the Samuel Beckett Bridge. This feature showcases one of
these peak hour services, Route 142, on Custom House Quay over the
years.
