| Details: The open day at Alperton Garage on 11th September 2021 (to mark its closure) was quite well attended, not just by enthusiasts but also what seemed to be local people and families. It was also nice to see some familiar faces after the lack of events during the past year and a half. I have always been interested in the layouts of London bus garages, as every one seemed to be different. As far as I know there is no single source of drawings/plans of garages, which is a shame, and I am hatching a long-term plan to possibly add some drawings to this website. For now, I will aim to take (or download) photos that show the interior layout, starting with this one at Alperton. The main shed at Alperton was square and relatively small. In this view, the main entrance is behind me, the engineering pits are out of frame on the left and the opening onto the tiny yard beside the railway is out of frame on the right. Further back the layout got a bit more complicated, and there was also a change in floor level. The Plaxton President bus in the previous photo is the one facing me, nearest the centre in this view. | ||
