| The large garage opened by Abellio at Southall (Great Western Industrial Park) in 2019 is typical of many recent bases in comprising mainly open parking areas. Covered accommodation is only provided for buses undergoing maintenance. All six of the bays are visible in this photo, though it looks like each might be long enough to take two buses. Parked in front when Lee was there on 11th March 2021 was a previously unreported service vehicle. LB17YAD is a Citroen Dispatch van in silver with orange side stripes and chevrons on the back. A fleetnumber is most likely carried but could not be discerned at this distance. Another topical aspect is the Bus Full sign displayed by the bus on the right. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the permitted carrying capacity of buses has been reduced, to facilitate social distancing. The sign shown above is supposed to be displayed when a bus has reached its new limit, to inform passengers waiting at bus stops. Their use is understandably not always correct, and I have seen the sign being shown on virtually empty buses. There are also similar boards to show buses that are intended only for schoolchildren, and also those that are not for use by schoolchildren. |
