Maidstone - ready to go

Miadstone depot is almost ready to go.

Final work now includes a bit of landscaping and final adjustments to
the overhead.

First pic shows the workshops section - on the south side of the site.

Second pic shows the car storage area to the north and includes the wash
dock and sanding shed.  Car sidings are mostly behind and north of these
buildings.

A test track runs beside the northern boundary fence visible at right
with the high posts.  The fence is glass in the top section to provide
noise abatement for neighbours.

The roadway (not the tramway) from the entrance at Hampstead Rd is a
public road as far as the gatehouse near the north boundary near
Williamsons Rd and is where I stood to make the photographs.

Initial use of the  depot will be for maintenance including wheel lathe
work for the existing fleet.  I don't have any date for arrival of G
class trams.

Mal Rowe - made to feel welcome today.
