The facility comprises of a bus maintenance workshop, offices and staff rooms, including a control room to monitor the bus services across South Surrey. Land adjacent to the depot building will house the depot fleet. Assistant Operations Manager at Exeter, Trevor Jones, has relocated to the new site.
