Details: This photograph was taken at London and Country's Merstham Garage on 19th April 1996, a few days after the location had opened as a replacement for Reigate Garage. To the fore is Leyland Terrier dropside lorry WBV475Y. This was acquired second-hand in about 1988 and initially ran in plain green with London Country South West fleetnames. As can be seen, it later gained the two-tone green and red livery as used on the bus fleet. Note the fleetnumber A1 above the door handles and that a crane is fitted behind the cab. The buses in the background are mainly former LCBS AN and SNB vehicles, but there is also a Leyland National 2 (a type never operated by LCBS), and preserved RMC4 is just visible at the back. Merstham Garage only lasted until 2001, when Arriva pulled out of the area. Metrobus took over most of the services.
