Details: An open day was held at Westbourne Park Garage on 10th October 2015. Opened in 1981 to allow the closure of Middle Row and Stonebridge Park Garages, it was built underneath the elevated Westway roadway. In recent years it has passed from First London to Tower Transit, and its large allocation of buses was reduced in 2011 when the adjoining yard beside the railway lines into Paddington had to be closed to make way for Crossrail construction work. The displaced buses were kept at a new base at Atlas Road in Harlesden and a small fleet of crew ferry cars makes frequent trips between the two locations. First up were five Vauxhall Zafira estates in unmarked red but recognisable as a batch by having similar registration numbers. It may be that more vehicles are now in use, this photo showing two plain red cars outside the garage during the open day. Nissan Micra LT10TXV was said to be an Atlas Road vehicle and had the remains of some company logo on the rear. Honda Jazz LR09SSZ arrived with some London Sovereign staff and later parked inside the garage, perhaps as a visitor. As usual, I am a bit reluctant to add vehicles like this to the database unless it can be confirmed that they do not belong to individual members of staff.

Thomas Young	LT10TXV has been added to the database as it is still in use with Tower Transit. The car was transferred from the co-owned Impact Group where it was used as a driver training vehicle.	Mon 31/10/2016, 17:06
