| Vandon Street, Westminster The garages are still extant although chances of seeing anything are slim as the LUL Control Centre moved to Palestra in spring 2013. The incident car had been noted on ground (at the rear of 55 Broadway) in Palmer Street (blocked on Google Street View) and a ramp exists down under this area - possibly to 55 Broadway! | Ray | Fri 10/08/2007, 21:37 |
| Putney Bridge Garage Sited on the south side of Putney Bridge (east side). | Ray | Fri 10/08/2007, 21:36 |
| North Wembley Garage Sited on the GEC Estate in East Lane (out of North Wembley station and bear right - it is just down the road on the north side). The 'garage' is at the far end but new engineering facilities were opened on the right hand side of the entrance road virtually opposite the former but subsequently closed early 2009 with the 'garage' being temporarily mothballed on 30/5/2009. TfL Dial-a-Ride vehicles have now taken the site. | Ray | Fri 10/08/2007, 21:35 |

| Colindale (Hendon) Depot Formerly Hendon Tram Depot, Hendon Trolleybus Depot operated trolleys from 5/7/1936. It was renamed Colindale to avoid clashing with Hendon (AE). The trolleys left 2/1/1962 but only got as far as the rear yard where most of London's trolleys were broken up (adjacent to Annesley Avenue) by George Cohen's 600 Group Note: Edited by Ray, 14/05/10, 19:12. | Ray | Fri 10/08/2007, 21:13 |
| Hammersmith Trolleybus Depot The depot was on the east side of Butterwick and was used by BEA coaches once the trolleys left on 19/7/1960. It was previously the site of Hammersmith Tram depot, trolleys operating from 12/9/1937. The depot was slowly reduced in size with the north end going first then the remainder being replaced by a hotel. | Ray | Fri 10/08/2007, 21:05 |
| Hammersmith, Butterwick Butterwick itself has changed slightly over the years having had a bus stopping area on the west side with shelters and separated from the other traffic. The W&BD was in a yard between this and the station (virtually sited above the tracks). A replacement bus station was built above the station, using part of the area of the old Riverside garage (R) with, from 2009, an addition bus station at ground level is on the corner of Butterwick and Broadway for buses that terminated (mainly) outside the H&C station. A substation exists off Fulham Palace Road (adjacent to/visible from the District/Piccadilly tracks). | Ray | Fri 10/08/2007, 21:02 |
| Morden Bus Station Sited outside the station, the layout has changed now and again but only in traffic flow. | Ray | Fri 10/08/2007, 20:58 |
| Elephant & Castle (London Rd) Depot As the heading states this is in London Road by St Georges Circus. Blink and you'll miss the entrance and yard. The latter is above the tracks and very small. | Ray | Fri 10/08/2007, 20:57 |
| Willesden Junction Garage Sited in Station Road opposite Willesden Junction Station and alongside the WCML. | Ray | Fri 10/08/2007, 20:55 |
| Mitcham Offices London General (and later London Central) HQ sited at Unifilter House, 25 Raleigh Gardens. Both moved to the former pub at 19 Merton High Street (adjacent to AL) in 2007, the offices were still extant and empty in May 07. Note: Edited by Ray, 11/08/07, 11:39. | Ray | Fri 10/08/2007, 20:53 |
| West Perivale Garage Formerly Thorpes depot (and showing notices to this effect until late 2008) at 12 Perivale Industrial Park, Horsenden Lane South.(Out of Perivale, Central line tube, and turn right!) A new facility was set up in an adjacent Unit (20) to replace the repair etc facilities formerly at Cricklewood (W) and North Wembley (NW). The CELF at Unit 20 opened on 4/9/07 and also replaced the Fourth Way, Wembley (FE) unit. The garage is due to close in February 2022 | Ray | Fri 10/08/2007, 20:49 |
| Perivale Garage This was sited behind the Vanguard repository (by the Central line bridge) in Alperton Lane, and guarded by a large artillery gun. There was also a notice to the effect that visitors 'should remove their dentures before entering as the guard dogs cannot digest them'! Although Metroline buses etc were right at the rear near the River Brent some crew SVs could be seen at the front near the signing on/off point behind the fuel pumps. Closed 23 June 2012 following route losses but subsequently re-opened following route gains. | Ray | Fri 10/08/2007, 20:44 |
| Park Royal (Atlas Road) Garage Sited on Atlas Road, it passed from NCP to London Sovereign on 17/11/09 after a few months under NSL Services control. Subsequently to London United on 26/6/2010. Replaced by the former Tower Transit garage 'AS' up the road 11/11/2017, which was re-coded RP. Originally used by Metroline. | Ray | Sat 04/08/2007, 07:01 |
| Hatton Cross Bus Station If parking at Hatton Cross, beware - it is a Pay&Display car park, minimum charge £6.00 (SIX POUNDS!) | John Lloyd-Martin | Thu 02/08/2007, 21:15 |
| Grays Garage The heading is mis-leading in that the Arriva garage (7 Europa Park, London Road) is not that which opened in 1935 in Hogg Lane (formerly Stifford Road) and closed in 1993 to be replaced by the former. The code was also used for use of Seabrooks Brewery from 1933 to 1935 and also possibly for the ENOC garage at Argent Street prior to that. Arriva Grays regularly exchange service vehicles with Dartford | Ray | Sun 29/07/2007, 20:55 |
| Rickmansworth Station Viewing facilities. For those used to viewing from the eastern end of the car park - you can't anymore. It is a building site. The approach road to the depot up the slope, is actually private, & that is the only spot from which you can see, other than presumably from a train. Note: Edited by John Lloyd-Martin, 01/08/07, 15:11. | John Lloyd-Martin | Sat 28/07/2007, 22:30 |
| Holloway Garage Entrance sited to left of 630 Holloway Road, N19. Vehicles and crews moved to HT on closure. It then became a secure bonded warehouse for Customs & Excise. Site now includes Kiver Road et al | Ray | Sat 28/07/2007, 12:06 |
| Holloway (Highgate) Garage Officially at 37A Pemberton Gardens, N19 (01-272 2244) the larger end is in Pemberton Terrace. Used to operate two way, both ends but now seems to be 'in' at the Gardens and 'out' at the Terrace end. Trolleybuses operated from 6/3/1938 to 25/4/1961, however trams lingered on to 1952. A van or two (sometimes from the cleaning department down the road for minor repair) could be found here. Trolley 1348 was kept here for some time before heading to Ireland. The side yard (is it still used?) was opened when vehicles were acquired from J on closure and 'Highgate' again became Holloway. | Ray | Sat 28/07/2007, 12:03 |
| Lewisham Bus Station Having got the buses out of Rennell Street (stand) into a 'new' bus station it was later decided to make it bigger (then bigger still) and that's what existed until 2014 when a new stand was opened in Thurston Road (backing onto Lewisham station) | Ray | Sat 28/07/2007, 11:55 |
| Edmonton Garage Sited at the end of Tramway Avenue, N9 trolleys were operated from 16/10/1938 to 18/7/1961 (01-804 1621). Trolleybus 260 was kept here in the mid sixties. Operated RCLs when allocated to Central Bus work in the eighties. Note: Edited by Ray, 09/06/09, 19:57. | Ray | Sat 28/07/2007, 11:53 |
| Brentford Garage At the end of Commerce Road (the last bus stop is at the gates). Vans are often to be found just inside said gates. | Ray | Sat 28/07/2007, 11:52 |
| Beddington Lane Garage This unit was closed and vacated when the final Centra routes were lost. There was nothing on site the following week. | Ray | Sat 28/07/2007, 11:49 |
| Bus Engineering Ltd This relates to the unit at Park Royal to where BEL moved after Chiswick closed | Ray | Sat 28/07/2007, 11:49 |
| Buckingham Palace Road Not sure if this is 172 Buckingham Palace Road, the official address of London Buses Limited. This is above Victoria Coach Station. In which case vehicles are kept in the basement (VCO). The other offices at 84 Eccleston Square had a large underground car park and a few Tube Lines (and LR55DGX) have been seen entering. Closed when staff moved to the Palestra Building in Blackfriars Road | Ray | Sat 28/07/2007, 11:45 |
| Dalston Garage Sited in Shrubland Road (also entry in Ivydene Road) E8 (01-254 6694). Operated RLH's RF's and RTLs and RTW's amongst others. | Ray | Sat 28/07/2007, 11:42 |
| Clapton (Hackney) Garage At 15 Bohemia Place, E8 (01-985 9214) operated RTLs (including the two lowest in use - 19 & 22) after the trolleys left 14/4/1959. A few small vans could be found here Note: Edited by Ray, 09/06/09, 19:52. | Ray | Sat 28/07/2007, 11:36 |
| Ealing Common Depot Sited off Uxbridge Road (01-992 1237). | Ray | Sat 28/07/2007, 11:33 |
| Edgware Bus Station There have been 2 Edgware L.T. garages, the 1925 one being replaced in 1939 to make way for the Northern Line extension. The latter, in Station Road (01-952 6188), operated the last TD's in 1962 and has now been replaced by the current (ex London Buses) garage used by Metroline and Transdev. There was a turn round point outside the station, at one time used by the TDs, and a bus station at the rear (although the original has since been replaced by the current one) Note: Edited by Ray, 10/03/08, 21:40. Note: Edited by Ray, 10/03/08, 21:41. | Ray | Sat 28/07/2007, 11:32 |
| Garston Garage Sited on St Albans Road (Garston 3121) a few SVs were seen there in LT days. The yard of H&C Coaches were sited opposite where one could at one time see (amongst other RTs etc) all three RT's from 'Summer Holiday' after filming was completed. Losing its LT contracts, the garage, now under Arriva London, closed during the morning of 1/9/2018. | Ray | Sat 28/07/2007, 11:28 |
| Grosvenor Gardens, Victoria The garages (which is all what they were) still exist today | Ray | Sat 28/07/2007, 11:24 |
| Rickmansworth Station Rickmansworth (72152) was the end of the electric line and where steam took over until the A60/A62 stock went through (to Amersham/Chesham) in the early sixties. | Ray | Sat 28/07/2007, 11:24 |
| Upton Park Garage Sited at the end of Redcliffe Road (usual vehicle exit) and the end of Priory Road (entry) E6. (01-472 3386). Had a tender (811J) and small truck during the 50's and 60's and later a Ford tow truck then a Leyland Freighter. Various other vans followed including some from Stagecoach/ELBG. Garage closed 16/17 September 2011 | Ray | Sat 28/07/2007, 11:17 |
| Willesden Garage Sited on the High Road, junction Dudden Hill Road. The lay over area on Pound Lane has expanded over the years. Had a small van here in the fifties and sixties. RTW's on route 1 went over to SE London (latterly) on Saturdays when AC were allocated some duties.(01-459 6543) Note: Edited by Ray, 29/10/10, 16:41. | Ray | Sat 28/07/2007, 11:14 |
| Wood Green Garage Sited on Jolly Butchers Hill, N22 (01-888 5277) it opened as a horse tram depot in 1895, then was converted to electric trams in 1904 and trolleybuses in 1938. Converted in 1961 for buses (RM) it took over WG workings in 1962 and received the first batch of MBS vehicles in 1968. Housed 1035CD for a time along with a tower wagon and various lorries in electric days with a breakdown wagon in the eighties. Offices in Watsons Road are the Arriva London HQ building. | Ray | Sat 28/07/2007, 11:07 |
| Norwood Ticket Works This was set up when Effra Road closed down and the overhaul of Gibsons was being run down. The base was a unit in Beadman Street, which led into Ernest Avenue, and was opposite the new Norwood Garage (N). Electronic machines eventually killed off the need for ticket machine works | Ray | Fri 27/07/2007, 15:52 |
| Swanley I agree with Damon, there were no works at Swanley. I thought there were storage facilities there for LCBS machines (Gibsons at least) at some point with possibly 16A and 17A later dealing with deliveries to LCBS garages (from 9/73) when LT were no longer contracted (or the Gibsons removed). Note 1539F was sold in 12/73 so there may be some vague connection. A lot of beer has passed under the bridge since then. | Ray | Fri 27/07/2007, 15:49 |
| Swanley It seems this one doesn't really exist as such. 1539F was allocated to a manager at Effra Road Ticket Machine Works (which dates back to the LCC by the way). This particular manager lived in Swanley and kept the van at the garage overnight. So there never really was a ticket machine works at Swanley. Thanks to a couple of friends for sharing that with us. | Damon | Fri 27/07/2007, 00:59 |
| Dorking Garage Demolished, replaced by retirement flats. Still a bus stop outside, though | John G | Sat 21/07/2007, 08:48 |
| Eltham Bus Station Built 1985, the bus stop layout was by the LTPC(SE)Committee of which I am a member. The vehicles formerly at SW (publicity) moved in here later. It is built over the A2 relief road tunnel and replaced the former bus station on the opposite side of Well Hall Road in Sherard Road. Note: Edited by Ray, 16/07/07, 21:24. | Ray | Mon 16/07/2007, 21:21 |
| Chingford, Trinity Way Was sited on Trinity Way, Chingford at rear of estate. Phone number on the countdown boxes is 0181-prefixed so it may have been open a number of years. iBus installation & control centre? Note: Edited by Ray, 09/05/11, 11:39. | Ray | Sun 08/07/2007, 15:00 |
| Northfleet Garage I agree with Damon but only one is in use with Arriva. (The same applies to a number of sites eg Grays with two using GY and one using GA). NF was to transfer to Arriva Medway Towns 1/2012 but this was deferred Note: Edited by Ray, 19/01/12, 17:08. | Ray | Sat 07/07/2007, 16:23 |
| Bromley Garage Plumstead was home to the last RT's (TB & TL had the last in service in SE London). The SMS were not experimental only the livery, similar to Bow's DMS's. As the FS & Bristols on the B1 pass my door I would not say they were famous or, indeed, the DMS (although I agree with Damon). As for the RFs on the 227 I shall be driving one tomorrow (8/7/07). Even the brick roundel is not unique! | Ray | Sat 07/07/2007, 16:19 |
| Northfleet Garage Actually two different sites, both of which are still intact. The current NF dates from 1937. The previous NF in Dover Road was the depot of the Gravesend and Northfleet Electric Tramways Limited and dates to 1902. Closed to trams in 1929 and used for motor buses by Maidstome and District it passed to the LPTB on formation in 1933. | Damon | Sat 07/07/2007, 15:38 |
| Bromley Garage FAMOUS as home to South London's last RT's (along with Catford) which took me to school on the 94 up until August 1978. Also the longest continuously RT worked route (1948-1978). Also notable for the brick built roundel that forms part of the wall around the late 70's open parking area built for the mass arrival of Leyland Nationals in 1979 and saw off my beloved DMS's. Also housed crew RF's for the 227, SMS's with an experimental livery to highlght the split entrance arrangement (as modelled by Britbus), FS minibuses and later BS and BL single decks. A garage of distinction in my humble opinion. | Damon | Sat 07/07/2007, 15:31 |
| Northfleet Garage Sited on London Road (Gravesend 66267) my first visit in 1960 caused me much trouble as I thought I'd gone back in time. RT64 (not in my ABC) Q69 (never heard of one) and a Tree Lopper STL (never seen an STL let alone a tree lopper). Still my friendly GS driver did let me start the engine - it's not a coat hook! - and chased after a 480 for me to catch and head home. | Ray | Sat 07/07/2007, 13:22 |
| Bromley Garage Sited at 111 Hastings Road (01-462 1193) the yard opposite has gradually been extended over the years. Famous for virtually nothing after the Tillings buses departed (except some Almex A ticket machines trialled by conductors for a few months). | Ray | Sat 07/07/2007, 13:11 |
| Brixton (Streatham) Garage Sited at 39 Streatham Hill (01-674 9506), the current garage was built in 1951 to replace the tram depot on the (2) sites. | Ray | Sat 07/07/2007, 13:08 |
