Among the equipment specified by London Coaches general manager Pat Waterman in consultation with Claydrum were an FM Bradbury Dockmaster 14-tonne lift, Nederman exhaust extraction equipment, Karcher mobile steam/pressure cleaner, Bauer universal engine stand, Balco commercial wheel balancer, Alentec forced lubrication systems. Tecalemit Ptunpaway waste oil unit, and 100,000 Btu Davair oil gas burner.
Fifteen London Coaches maintenance staff service 92 110. PSVs, and some 50 HG Vs on an outside contract, at the new workshop in Wandsworth.
