Description
British Bus Garages: A Portrait explores the diverse and often overlooked world of bus garages, from their origins in tram depots to their modern-day incarnations.
The history of bus garages is one of variation and adaptation, with different companies building structures that catered to their specific needs. Some, like London Transport's Stockwell garage, have stood the test of time as architectural gems, while others, such as Ribble Motor's outstation at Bowness-on-Solway, were designed for a single bus.
As the bus industry has evolved, so too have the garages. The deregulation of bus services in 1986 marked a significant turning point, leading to the decline of many former tram depots and the rise of new, more low-cost establishments.
