Sandy Lane Garage


A new covered garage opened in 1954 with a capacity of half the fleet. Thereafter, odd numbered vehicles were assigned to Sandy Lane and even numbers to Harnall Lane. A new major bus overhaul facility was opened next to the garage in 1966, replacing the defunct workshops at Watery Lane, Keresley.
