Someone here is bound to know, Ross being at the top of the list! No, it was a commonly-used term in the industry. Dormy Shed is another variation. Outpost is another that I have heard. London Transport used "outstation". In the 1960s, a bus was outstationed on the forecourt of the Royal Oak, Holmbury St. Mary each night, the drivers living nearby. The arrangement ceased when one of the drivers (known to all and sundry as "Curly" - I never knew his real name) retired. -- Bill Hayles http://billnot.com |
