- Isleworth trolleybus depot.
The song "Runaway" by Del Shannon would have been heard on the radio during this time period.

The Conductor taking over in the film was Mr, Jack Binge who worked on the 657 Route until May 1962, He then went to Hounslow Bus Garage (AV) until his retirement in the 1970s, He was a great friend and was my instructor when I became a conductor at Hounslow Garage in the 1960s HAPPY DAYS,
Wow!! I've worked in that building, it's storage now, it's so cool seeing inside how it was!!
I drove buses for 4 years starting in 96 and enjoyed every minute of it, especially on the ex trolleybus routes 29 and 141, but always wished i had been there 40 years earlier. no good ever came out of us loosing our beloved trolleybuses except maybe the routemaster, but that would have come anyway.
Brilliant, I used to live just along the road from this depot at a big house on the corner of Star Road, We then moved to Bridge Road around 1965.I remember the trolley bus depot finally going out of service when i was very young. By a strange twist of fate I was eventually a Bus Driver out of Hounslow Garage just along the road. One of the routes I worked on was the 281 which covered a large part of the route served by the Diddlers etc many years before.
Great video especially of the traverser and turntable. The Isleworth Depot I knew was then the home of the Q class Trolleybus.
Great video!
Fantastic to see the turntable/traverser working.
Indeed! Fascinating - I caught the last of the trolleybuses (West Ham), but I didn't even imagine that there were turntables and traversers for them, although - it's logical, when you think about it.
That's what time does...runaway 😐
Great video 👍
Excellent shots ! Never thought I'd actually see the turntable/traverser in action. And Del Shannon, takes me back to Radio Luxembourg {No Radio 1 then !}
Hi Butch, Yes I saw that film, its great, It follows what became part of the 281 route. Incidentally I dont know if its still there but just along Stanley Road behind Fulwell garage was a brilliant Indian restaurant called the Bengal Brasserie, the food used to be superb there.
No this is not Hounslow Bus Garage, This is further down towards Isleworth, The Milford Arms Pub is on the corner, Its now a storage warehouse.
What a marvellous video, absolutely fantastic footage... 5*
This is amazing clear footage.. brilliant and thanks for posting.. I missed all of this,I was born in 1960.. by the time I knew things the 607 was the 207 and the 667 was (and still is) the 267
oh for a time machine!
Well done -- a gem of a video.
You and I must have the same DVD's! :)
I wish I could be there.
Classic
in the 70s i think that it was a warehouse for R whites lemonade believe it or not
@airscrew1 I think he's just blowing his nose in an old fashioned handkerchief!!
A world I never knew
what will happen the the isleworth garage/depot?
why were they scapped?? such a shame no we are turning back to electric as a way to power our transport eg. the G whizz! what an irony
where was the isleworth garage?
About half a mile from Hounslow, heading towards Brentford.
This wonderful video just makes me think, "Wouldn'tTfL love to have this fully electric public transport system, including the trams of course, running in London in 2022?". The idiocy of scrapping all of our perfectly functioning electric public transport systems across the whole of the UK in the 50s and 60s now looks complete madness, and the reason was that diesel fuel was cheap and would last for ever - what a joke!. OK, the overhead (for trolleys) and the rails+overhead (for trams) needed some money spent on them, but compare that with the cost now of going electric from nothing, having got rid of the lot. Stupidity.
