This Place Its Mad Seeing Old Bus Parts Left Lying Around Still Knowing The Bulding Has Seen Abit Of Damage Whislt Sat Empety I can't believe the power still even works in this place knowing the state of it it seems the building is not very water tight any more Due To Just Being Left Unmaintained I Hope They Shut The Power Off It Needs Capping Off The Building Is Unsafe History.... Swindon Corporation was the local council formed by the 1901 Municipal Borough charter, and Swindon Corporation Tramways started to operate electric trams in 1904. Motor-bus operation started in 1927 and two years later all the trams were replaced by this form of transport. In 1942 Swindon became one of the first authorities to take delivery of the "Arab" made by Guy Motors.[1] One of these, No. 51 (DHR 192), is now preserved at RAF Wroughton near Swindon which is an Annex of the National Museum of Science and Industry and open to the public on certain days of the year. On local government re-organisation in the early 1970s the name was changed to Thamesdown Transport. Following a sale to the Go-Ahead Group in February 2017, it was rebranded Swindon's Bus Company. Rural and inter-urban bus services around Swindon were mainly operated by Bristol Tramways (later known as Bristol Omnibus Company), which established a branch in Swindon in 1921. Bristol became part of the National Bus Company, and in 1983 the Swindon branch was transferred to a new company, Cheltenham & Gloucester Omnibus Company, operating in Swindon under the name Swindon and District. Cheltenham & Gloucester was sold to its management in 1986, and absorbed into the Stagecoach Group as Stagecoach in Swindon in 1993.

Not a bad effort, your title needs amending to the correct format of the place name, location, and month/year of visit though.
