Thanks, Clive. I thought it was in Downham Way that they changed. They
only had a very short stretch under the wires before reaching the Grove
Park Station terminus.

Hmm, so they did.

The 46 and 72 did indeed change at Lee Green, but my memory (it was a
long time ago) had them on the Lewisham side of Burnt Ash Road rather
than the Eltham side.

I've just noticed a note that says the overhead continued west to just
beyond the crossover on the Lewisham side of Burnt Ash Road. That could
be why you thought that.

The other interesting note is that until 1927 the 44, 46, and 72 ran
under trolleybus wiring between Woolwich and the Eltham Road change pit
(or Eltham Church for the 44) to prevent interference with the RGO.
