Route 235 Extension 08/12/13

Christmas Day. This is the Christmas Present from the WLTMTB. *Insert generic Christmas greeting*.

Route 235 finally gets the extension to Brentford, Great West Quarter. But after a long wait, the blinds say "North Brentford Quarter". Of which, it is not in North Brentford at all, it's in East Brentford! Also, the development is Great West Quarter, by Barratt Homes. It was formerly Wallis House, used by Simmonds Aerocessories then Beecham (now Glaxo SmithKline) before being vacated by 2005. The car park behind it, as well as the art-deco building itself has been re-developed into a housing development. Inevitably, a bus route had to go there due to it being part of the plan. Route 235, after much deliberation, and even registering the change very early with Surrey County Council, finally was extended to Brentford, Great West Quarter on the 7th December 2013.

And just the bus stop for the sake of it (Au):


It also had no panel timetable yet when the photo was taken.
