Lost Lisbon: Arco De Cego Depot

Lisbon's main depot in its heyday was Arco De Cego near Saldanha. This opened in 1902 and closed around 1995 having witnessed many of its routes closed in the 1990s. The depot remains standing having been a coach station until 2004 and a car park since. These before and after shots show the situation in 1984 and 2010.
