Situated in Wells Road W12 8DA, the original bus garage dates from 1906, but was rebuilt in the early 1950s and completed in 1954. The white notice on the garage says that it is now owned by London United, which is part of the RATP Group, an international public transport operator owned by the French Government. With this Garage having an Open Day when this photo was taken, RM 1 (SLT56) the first Routemaster dating from 1954 can be seen, whilst to the far right is LT135 (LTZ 1135) a 2014 62-seater Wrightbus NBfL seen allocated for route 148.
