The shot by the main entrance to Stanley depot could have been taken when the office is closed by quickly running into the depot. Judging by the quality of the photos I would say (in my opinion) they were taken in a hurry. The shots of the Toonlink vehicle could also have been taken from near the side entrance to Stanley Depot. For those who have not visited this location before there is a public right of way that runs past the side of the bus garage at Stanley.
Needless to say if the shots were taken without relevant permissions being granted it is potentially dangerous and illegal. Such actions give all enthusiasts a bad name and can only cause unnecessary friction with bus operators. If you wish to visit any operator's garage you should ask for permission. Its only polite and decent to do so. Lets face it none of us would like it if a complete stranger walked into our living rooms and started taking photos of the furniture.

He might of Charles, not sure but i think he is related to someone who works at Stanley so he could of had permission but we might never know also you said look at the quality of his photos of the ones in depot but if you look at his other photos they're all blurry....
If they were taking without permission then his giving all enthusiasts a bad name..... which never helps. I didn't know that there was a public right of way that runs past the side of the bus garage at Stanley... shows how much i go to depots....
