DescriptionBarking Bus Garage (1) (geograph 7752855).jpg
English: Located at 205 Longbridge Road IG11 8UE, it was opened by the London General Omnibus Company on Wednesday 9th January 1924 to meet the demand for bus services in the nearby London County Council housing estates in the Becontree area of Essex. In 1933, LGOC became part of London Transport and over the years this bus garage has seen changes in ownership until Stagecoach London took over its operation in September 1994. It was the last LT bus garage to operate the RT bus, which dated from the late 1940s, until it was finally taken out of service to much fanfare on Saturday 7th April 1979. When this photo was taken, an Open Day was being held to celebrate the garage's 100th anniversary.
