| Spring Grove in Lampton is one of the newer London bus garages, having only opened in 2019. It was previously a base for coach company Westbus, co-owned with Metroline since 2005. Westbus moved to the former First London depot in Hayes (Rigby Lane), allowing Metroline to use Spring Grove to run TfL services. Coded SG, it currently works routes 81 and 120 using a fleet of about 30 double-deck buses. It is technically an outstation of Brentford Garage (AH) and has no on-site engineering facilities. Basically just an open parking yard, the base was initially shared with another coach company (Imperial?), while there are some commercial auto firms at the bottom end of the site, meaning that you can walk or drive through the yard. Doing so on 19th September 2023, we hadn't expected to find any service vehicles but came across Ford Puma AY23KUE parked amongst the staff cars. |
