Hello again Ed, this is a p.s.from yesterday's message. I found a photo on flicker by "In memorial V" showing buses and a minibus in a yard belonging to Tentrek aka Transcity in Sidcup I presume the Maidstone Rd site ?. Hope this may help you on any future investigations.

I'm finding nothing garage related under "In memorial V" or Tentrek, Tentrek depot, Tentrek yard or Tentrek garage. Is there a registration number or the title of the photograph?

Hi again Ed, I apologise I just found the photo on flicker eventually phew. I typed in Transcity and the second photo was it, by Vernon C Smith. Hope you find any more info on this illusive company !

@@paulwithers3658 I know the one you mean, Transcity bought various odds and ends in the early days of deregulation - I'd have been happier if they'd been obviously Transcity - not even a route number. However, there is a photo of SXA69K in Dartford by David Flett taken in 1986 with a small Transcity fleet name on the side. My thought was 'Five Arches Business Estate' - I had a look around on Streetview, but the earliest view is 2012, 25 years after the photo was taken, I don't even know if this place existed in 1987. There's also the Crockenhill location, I've seen a photo which is just as anonymous. At worst I'll do a placeholder video, I was struggling with North Acton (NA) for a long while before I finally confirmed the site.
