The Secret Life of a Bus Garage (ITV documentary, 2016)
Documentary looking at the people and the buses at Go Ahead London General's Stockwell garage. The garage is significant architecturally, as when it was opened in 1952, it had Europe's largest unsupported roof span. Many buses are seen working and at rest, mostly Go Ahead buses.
