The Company’s premises at Longmead had been subject to continual development, culminating in complete redevelopment of the 1971 buildings in 2019/10. When the garage first opened, the longest coach was 11 metres long, and there were only four of them. With the introduction of 12 metre coaches in 1973, the width of the garage started to become a problem, and in 1979 the Company had to increase the length of the 34 vehicle parking bays to accommodate them. The site next door was also acquired and new facilities were built including a two-bay bodyshop, a larger drivers rest room, new vehicle wash, an additional 13,500-gallon underground fuel tank as well as an extension to one side of the garage. Even this was to prove inadequate, as later coaches had grown to 13 metres and double deck vehicles were introduced in 2007.
In 204, the adjacent heat treatment works, became available and the company purchased the site including a suitable building for conversion into a new workshop able to accommodate the larger coaches and one day, double deck vehicles. The building was converted and completely refurbished, providing four workshop bays using vehicle lifts. The original workshop was retained, but seldom used, once the engineers had become accustomed to their spacious new workshops.
