Welcome to my third 'flashback' classic video, from 1992 and a rare look 'behind the scenes' for you!

As I worked there, I was able to film what the general public never sees - 'fuel and wash time', here at the Southend Transport Garage at London Road (sadly demolished for a retail park many years ago).

Don't miss the trip through the bus wash on board too!

With the end of Southend Transport's AEC Routemasters not far off back then, here's a selection of them queuing up, getting fuelled, driving through the bus-wash machine before driving past to park up in neat lines in the garage afterwards.

** Bear in mind this was filmed 34 years ago (at the time of uploading), on a Video8 camcorder,  so standards are not as I can offer today in 2026 **.

Enjoy the look behind the scenes :)
