Bus Garages in Brentford and Isleworth

In the article headed: "Local Labour Party Backs Campaign Against Bus Cuts" W4.com says "There are six bus garages in the Brentford & Isleworth constituency including the Stamford Brook Garage run by RATP Dev Transit London and Metroline’s Brentford Depot."As well as the two mentioned, I can think of RATP Transdev's (London United) Hounslow Bus Garage in the High Street and the Lampton bus garage in spring Grove Road. Is the bus garage near Twickenham Rugby Ground in the constituency? the former Westlink garage in Green Lane Hounslow is in the Feltham & Heston constituency so where are the missing two bus garages?

Whoever wrote the article seems to have got mightily confused. There is a major difference in both area and population size between the Brentford & Isleworth constituency and the borough of Hounslow. A classic case of lack of local knowledge when writing a report perhaps, or just an error? I'm sure that the local Brentford & Isleworth Labour Party knows precisely where there are bus garages in the constituency. And as an aside - Spring Bridge Road is in the borough of Ealing, not Hounslow.

Hounslow Council didn’t and probably still don’t know their way around Chiswick. So nothing’s a given

"Spring Grove Road" is in LBH.It's hardly a garage..just an outdoor parking space.. used by the 81 route buses..due to lack of space at Hounslow Bus Garage just down the road.Maybe some of tbose 81s are under cover but out of view.
