On Saturday 11th September 2021, Metroline West held a farewell open day at their Alperton Garage to commemorate its closure the previous day after 82 years of public service. A wide variety of buses from the 1950s to the modern-day were in attendance, alongside a collection of various traders selling bus-related memorabilia. A very nice event to commemorate occasion and below are the images we captured on the day.
