Details: After my 'discovery' of a Highways Alliance depot near Morden Wharf garage last month, two correspondents paid the location a visit. The buildings on the site are large, though of the 'Portacabin' type, while there are over a hundred car parking spaces marked out in front. However, at the times of the Google photographs, and the two visits mentioned above, only a half-dozen vehicles were present. About half of the vehicles were Toyota Yaris cars in London Highways Alliance livery, as seen in the background of this photo taken on 31st August 2019. Nearer the camera is another Yaris, LL14VKU being one of five new to TfL in 2014. VKU, along with the others, had been regularly reported at the main TfL Streets base at Chancel Street in Southwark. It could be that it has recently transferred here to replace the ex-LBSL VW Caddy van seen in the aerial photographs. By the way, I decided to name this location 'North Greenwich Highways Alliance', as it is slightly separate from Morden Wharf itself. It also includes another yard at the south end, which is where the larger vehicles (trucks, vans, cherry pickers and gritters) are kept.
