Where was the Footes' depot? Looks like a reasonably big setup.

The Thomas Tour's depot is listed on the photo caption as Goodwood Rd, does any one know where on Goodwood Rd their depot was or the street corner it was on. (Thanks in advance)

It was not that hard to find - a simple search for Choat brought this thread to light http://www.busaustralia.com/forum/viewt ... 10&t=39862 .
