| 摘要： | It's one of the great linguistic divisions of the bus industry, the question of whether the premises in which vehicles are based are garages or depots. London Transport kept its motorbuses in garages, but trams and trolleybuses in depots, and redesignated buildings accordingly when diesel-engined vehicles ousted electric traction. Birmingham was among the places to draw a similar distinction and my home city of Glasgow did too, except that its trolleybuses were stabled in garages, but its modern day successor, First, prefers depot. Charles Roberts has spotted an apparent change of mind in Liverpool, where the Corporation Passenger Transport Department used depot regardless of what was based there. Several changes of mind, in fact, judging by the notice outside Arriva's Green Lane premises east of the city centre. The one-time corporation tram depot had been designated as a garage by July 2018, but by April last year a new sign in corporate style declared it to be a depot. Now that part of the sign has been changed again, back to garage. |
