DSCF6356 Victoria Coach Station, London - 11 Mar 2017

Saturday 11 March 2017 (1110) – The 85th birthday weekend of Victoria Coach Station, London which opened on 10 March 1932. The vehicles parked in bays 1-4 were taking part in an event to mark the anniversary. Operational vehicles were packed in everywhere else! Note the ramp to an underground car park. Now used for cars and vans for one of the adjacent buildings, it originally led into underground garage used for the overnight and weekend parking of around 25 coaches. It was built in the mid 1960s but as coach sizes increased it became impractical to use for that purpose. During the week it was a car park for BOAC staff that worked in the adjacent building.
