It was opened by Eastern National in 1961 to replace premises at Bull Road, Vange. Chelmsford (CF) Chelmsford depot was located on New Writtle Street, with some maintenance duties carried out at the 1930s bus station on Duke Street. Chelmsford had an outstation at Great Dunmow (DW). Clacton (CN) Clacton depot had been sited at Telford Road, on the Gorse Lane industrial estate, since 1988 at premises previously occupied by Coastal Red, a one-time competitor on the Tendring peninsular who were later bought by Eastern National.
