Opened in 1953 to cope with expansion of bus services around Romford that the nearby Hornchurch garage could not cope with, North Street was initially allocated RTL, STL, TD and SRT types. RTs soon became the standard double deck type and RFs replaced the TDs in 1959. RMs were added in 1966, and OMO was widely introduced from 1971 with SMSs and then DMSs. Between 1975 and 1976 North Street uniquely operated the 13 RMAs on route 175. The late seventies saw Romford involved in the experimental Multi-Ride ticket scheme and was the first garage to receive an allocation of Ts.
