The original depot has been demolished to make way for the new Westfield shopping centre. Apparently a new set of sidings at a lower level has been provided beneath the centre. Part of the old Central London Railway power station (also known as the Dimco building) remains as a unique covered standing area for buses serving the new bus station alongside. |
