Fulwell (Twickenham) Garage (TF) |
Travel London (until 31/10/2009) and Abellio call it Twickenham. On Stanley Road, it is the eastern end of the old FW Depot and, until TGM took over, the tracks and a scissors crossing could still be seen. In the electric era the tower wagon sheds were sited this end (later converted to a games room and now demolished so the 33's can turn and park up). You can exit the station by the footbridge but to the left, leading out to Conmel Road (left again) which takes you to Stanley Road |

Clapham Junction (CJC) |
If this was the lay-by in St John's Hill (where I believe a canteen was sited) then it remains open to this day as a turn round point |

Chelsham Garage (CM) |
Is this the only garage to have its very own website? Try www.chelsham-garage.co.uk. It's great! There's even some interestintg pictures of service vehicles. Chelsham is, of course, one of several victims of the Sainsbury's empire where you can buy tins of beans probably made out of re-cycled Routemasters or something similar. Sad. Try the website - you'll love it. |

Chiswick (Stamford Brook) Garage (CB) |
LUT tram depot. This site used the code CK when operating as a relief to Putney (Chelverton Road) from 17/07/1935 to 11/02/1936 while AF was being rebuilt. |

Walthamstow, Ferry Lane (ex AEC) (FLN) |
The AEC works at Walthamstow were transferred to new premises at Windmill Lane, Southall during the 1920's. These works originated with ''Vanguard'', The Motor Omnibus Company as I think they were called. In 1930 a part of the closed works was sold to the LGOC and this is probably the location we are talking about. Some of the works buildings still stand in Ferry Lane today. |

Peckham Garage (PM) |
This is actually two sites. The original PM was where the bus station now is and stood on the site of Thomas Tillng's Bull Yard. This dates back to horse buses and very early motor bus operation by Tilling. Famously wrecked by the Luftwaffe, all but one of the private hire TF's was wiped out at the time. LT then built a new garage and medical centre here which opened in 1951. This was closed by London Buses in 1994 and relocated to the current PM, a low cost base on a former local authority depot in nearby Copeland Road. |

Greenwich Power Station (GWP) |
Still standing and very much alive and well. Although dormant now, Greenwich can be brought on full load in three minutes once the remaining gas turbines have been fired up. It only supplies domestic power for station lighting etc. for the Underground now and NOT traction current. This was the LCC's power station for the trams and stands on the site of a horse tram shed and stables. If you're ever lucky enough to see inside it's like a Catherdral and very spooky. |

Abbey Wood Garage (AW) |
Compact, smaller version of Garston with the entry road on l/h and exit on r/h of the office block on 165 Abbey Wood Road (01 854 7277). The docking area was in the main garage similar to NX. Staff buses ran from here to Chiswick including T, GS and RTL. I remember a ride home on RTL 1232 from a visit to Chiswick which took minimal time and would have involved speeds well over 40mph (no speed cameras then) |

Romford (London Road) Garage (RE) |
Quite usual to find stored items here (Ts/GSs in the sixties) with the usual Green Line RTs, plus two or three service vehicles. It was only later broken by RFs (724) and the grand RCLs which replaced the RTs (although some came back on the 722). Entry either from London Road passing the house/offices (where RTs on the 370 turned) or through the lead in from Cotleigh Road. The docking area was at the far end - i.e. to the right of the 81 London Road entrance. Romford 49211. |

Hatfield Garage (HF) |
The 1922 National garage closed in Feb 1959 being replaced by a new garage (Hatfield 2097) on the opposite side of the St Albans Road (and further east). This was further back from the main road, with the offices (on the right) and at the end of a large turning circle cum roundabout was the shed. Docking area was on the right of the shed on entry. This second garage closed in February 1990. |

Dartford Garage (DT) |
The original DT in Priory Road (Dartford 20468) closed in Jan '86 being replaced by new premises in Central Road. The old site had more open air storage with really just the pits and maintenance areas enclosed. The new site is a converted warehouse. Service vehicles are regularly exchanged with Grays. An outstation at 185 Manor Road, Erith opened on 13th July 2019 |

Warlters Road (Holloway) Sub-stn (WLR) |
Listed as Sub-station 1982. Building still there and in commercial use. This site originated as a horse tram depot with the London Street Tramways Company 28/9/1878. Passed to the L.C.C. 13/10/1897. Closed by 14/8/1908. |

Vauxhall ERU (VXE) |
On Tideway industrial estate off Kirtling Street. Walkable from Vauxhall or Battersea Park stations. or bus down Nine Elms lane and get off near the FedEx depot (which is right next door). Turn into Cringle Street and sharp right into Kirtling Street, walk to the end and look to your right and the vehicles can usually be seen parked outside. A handy sign with a map is thouthfully placed in Kirtling Street. You can also walk along the Thames path |

Tottenham Hale ERU (THE) |
Exit the station and cross the road heading towards the BP petrol station. The ERU depot is in Ashley Road next to the Network Rail depot. It's a grim looking grey building behind two locked gates. They usually keep the vehicles hidden inside although I've been lucky 3 times now and found them outside, once just leaving on a ''shout''. |

Norwood Tram Depot (NTD) |
Still stands and in use by Access self storage. Located in Norwood Road next to the Fire Station and a short walk from West Norwood Station and Norwood Garage. This was never a Trolleybus depot. Closed after the trams went although buses did occupy the site during 1951 for the special services for the Festival of Britain. |

Athol Street (Poplar) Garage (C) |
The 'black hole' was home to 747P (plus two RFWs) as well as RTLs. Large, heavy curtains covered the pit area (right on entry) while the offices were on the left. Despite how small it looked it seemed like a tardis inside when empty. 747P moved up the road (with the RFWs) on closure 9/5/61. And here we are 55 years later with fond memories of the staff of 'LT's most war damaged' garage! |

Charlton Works (CHN) |
Sited in Felltram Way, by the early sixties only 629X, 652F, 735J and 1009J remained in use, the last two being the most visible i.e. on the road. 629X went first, then 735J then 1009J and finally 652F, although this had been outstationed at Plumstead (AM)evenings and weekends in the final year, presumably near where the driver lived. Although the last trolleybus was overhauled in June 1959 the works stayed open until mid-1962 for supplying parts although quite what the need for an ambulance was is anybody's guess! |

Clapham Garage (CA) |
Dates back to the days of horse drawn trams. If you visit today you will find Sainsbury's now occupy the site. However if you look carefully you will notice the garage walls still provide a perimeter wall and the car park entrance is the old side entrance to the garage. Nothing of any interest lies within unfortunately. |

Grays Inn Road (GIR) |
This was the former LCC tramways sub-station at 156-158 Grays In Road. The building is mostly hidden behind the other buildings that front the street. The old sub-station building still stands today. |

I visited here many times as a kid and remember the lines of withdrawn DMSs along the back wall. If only I had had a camera back then. |
