Several drivers and conductors rest on the wall at the front of the
garage on a June day in 1970. Of note is the gibson ticket machine case
standing on the ground. AW closed in 1981 and was moved to the new
PD garage in Plumsted. It was subsequently demolished and replaced with
housing.

areas of the canteen. No doubt the inspectors sat near the window to keep
an eye on bus movement whilst on their break.
