Details: Go Coach is a fairly new operator based in North West Kent and running buses in a distinctive yellow and purple livery. They have recently started running services to a new Amazon distribution centre in Dartford and have acquired a trio of former London taxis for use as crew ferries. I have yet to see any photos of these vehicles but here is a related photo that may be of interest. The main Go Coach operating base is in Otford but they also now use the former London Transport garage in Swanley. This had passed to London Country Bus Services in 1970 and then to LCSE (KentishBus) in 1986. It was closed in 1989 but later saw some use by Metrobus. Ray visited the location on 5th November 2021 and found it in use but closed up. The main garage building has been extensively modified, with three new doors replacing the original wooden folding ones. The front and sides of the shed have also been re-clad, making them appear quite modern. In fact, the main clue to the location's LT heritage is the office building to the left, more clearly shown in the next photo...
