The Garage is now Alpha Motors at the side of Shell Garage on A 49. The coaches are reversed towards the road, the rear of them would be where the shell forecourt is now.

Hi Ged. Tommy Hilton drove GJP 613 I think that is the middle one of the Duple Super Vega's. I.E. 3rd from the Left.

Ged. Give Tommy my best regards. Does he still sing! There is cracked roof glass in Park Lane Garage. Some say it was Tommy's singing when he was cleaning Coach Windows.
