It would make sense having all the facilities in one place, engineering staff, electricians, coach builders, painters etc.
In fairness building the depot would have a cost which I accept, but wouldn't it pay for itself in years to come, especially with the loss of overhead cost of The Works and Washington Depot.
It could even provide more space for EV charging than Riverside which in future would benefit the business and enable fleet replacement to EV on local routes more viable.
Just a thought?
