An East London Dial-a-Ride depot will be closing this autumn.

TfL has confirmed the depot in Roding Lane South in Woodford Green will be closing this autumn when the organisation’s lease on the property expires.

It has announced that it is looking for new facilities that meet the demands of the service.

A spokesman at TfL said: "The Roding Road depot in Woodford is due to be returned to its landlord this autumn when our lease expires.

"We are reviewing a number of possible alternative sites, including Naval Row, but this would only be used in addition to other facilities.

"Any site or combination of sites selected must be able to meet the needs of our existing and future passengers in the area."

In March last year, more than 100 TfL workers are staged a walkout in protest over planned cuts to rest days.

Unite union members working at TfL’s Dial-a-Ride depot in Woodford Green executed the 48-hour stoppage in a dispute over new rotas and the loss of 10 rest days a year.
