Parked up tower wagons and maintenance vehicles for trolleybus overhead repairs. Some of these vehicles maybe withdrawn from use and awaiting disposal? One vehicle, converted from a former bus, has had the overhead tower assembly removed, which may have been transferred to a replacement vehicle?

WW2 wartime air raid shelter for garage staff at Park Lane Bus Depot from 1939-1945. Part of this site where the shelter stood, was later fenced off and a modern post war electrical sub station built. The post war sub station was dismantled in the early years of the 21st Century.
