This is a typical sight in the mechanic bays - trucks lined up to be fixed or have their regular maintenance.
Most of the mechanics have been here a good 20 years or more. They've come from all over the place - a couple from Western Waste, 3 from NEWCO, and the rest from WMX I believe. Our newest mechanic just came from the Athens Torrance shop.
A lot of the mechanics have told me some neat stories. One of the most interesting was back in the early 2000s when there was over 200 trucks here from all the mergers and acquisitions. They had some 25 mechanics here at the time. Most of the trucks were in horrible condition, primarily the Western Waste and WMX trucks. Some of the problems that the mechanics had to fix would last literally throughout the night - so any given mechanic would spend the entire night fixing a problem on one truck... and when you have a fleet of over 200, there are A LOT of trucks you need to either fix or maintain in one night. A particular truck they hated were the "autocans" (sorry Kevin :P) because of all the hoses they had. Apparently those broke down quite often unfortunately. With the new trucks, most mechanics can go through between 4-7 in a night depending on the problem.
Anyway, that's just one of the many stories I have to share. I remember seeing the old WMX and Western Waste FLs in these very same stalls years ago, and seeing all these trucks lined up brought back those great memories.

This stairway was used as a waste disposal shaft, while Churchill was using Down Street station as a war bunker during WWII. There's a pump at the bottom which pumps the waste into the London sewers.
Down Street, also known as Down Street (Mayfair), is a disused station on the London Underground, located in Mayfair, west London. It was opened in 1907 by the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway. It was latterly served by the Piccadilly line and was situated between Dover Street (now named Green Park) and Hyde Park Corner stations.
The station was little used and trains often passed through it without stopping. Its lack of patronage coupled with its proximity to other stations resulted in its closure in 1932. During the Second World War it was used as a bunker by prime minister Winston Churchill and his War Cabinet. The station building survives today and is close to Down Street's junction with Piccadilly.
