THE second of two new Sheffield Corporation bus depots, provision for which was made in the tramway replacement scheme evolved 10 years ago, was opened on Tuesday. The ceremony was performed by Mr. R. C. Moore, general manager of Sheffield Corporation Transport department, who on that day retired from the managership which he had held since December, 1945.
The new garage, at East Bank Road, has accommodation for 150 buses. The main building incorporates three parking bays, each 280 ft. long and 98 ft. wide, and a workshops bay of similar dimensions with 16 ready-access pits. Provision is also made for offices for the foreman, assistant foreman, and works clerk, and for shops for the bodymakers, painters and wireman.
At the opposite end of the building there is an administration section with ticket, time and cash offices at ground level. On the first floor are the mess rooms with the equipment necessary for the serving of cooked meals for 100 staff and the prolUsion of snacks throughout the day.
A Dawson Mk. II through-type bus washing plant for either 7-ft. 6-in. or 8-ft, double-deckers is provided at a point easily accessible from the entrance. Equipment includes a Laycock I2-ton bus lift and a Wickham industrial steam cleaner.
