Background:

Our Westbourne Park base was built in 1981 to replace two older garages:  Middle Row and Stonebridge. The location of the garage is unusual in that it has been constructed below the elevated section of the A40. The garage has a history of running the traditional red London Routemaster but today, it is home to a modern fleet of vehicles.
