Green Line Coach Route 716A

Last updated

Route 716A began running in October 1955 from Woking to Stevenage via Addlestone, Weybridge, Walton, East Molesey, Hampton Court, Kingston, Ham, Richmond, Barnes, Hammersmith, Kensington, Hyde Park Corner, Marble Arch, Baker Street, Finchley Road, Golders Green, North Finchley, Barnet, Potters Bar, Brookmans Park, Hatfield, Welwyn and Knebworth. The 716A disappeared in May 1976, and there is virtually no trace of it left, like so many of the traditional Green Line coach routes.

716A
716A WOKING VIA MARBLE ARCH
716A WOKING VIA KINGSTON
An “E” plate from a southbound stop. The use of the word VIA on a plate with white lettering is unusual.
716A MARBLE ARCH KINGSTON WOKING
Eliminating the word VIA allowed for an extra destination. This example is (or was) very common and was posted on southbound stops all the way from Welwyn Garden City to North Finchley. Unfortunately this particular plate is damaged by a couple of stone chips.

716A HYDE PARK CORNER HATFIELD STEVENAGE
The sole example of an “E” plate with this wording was at Hampton Court (Bushy Gate).
716A MARBLE ARCH WELWYN STEVENAGE
MARBLE ARCH was generally used rather than HYDE PARK CORNER because it would fit onto one line.
716A STEVENAGE VIA HATFIELD
Another “E” plate from a northbound stop, this one with cream lettering and the word VIA.
716A STEVENAGE VIA HATFIELD
The numbers are of a slightly different style—and the lettering somewhat condensed—on this “E” plate, compared to the older version with cream lettering.
