The Ferrier Compound, also know as the Ferrier Morgue was the final assignment for many of Edmonton's buses. Once a bus was retired it would find its way into either the Ferrier Compound, located beside Ferrier Garage, or the yard behind the Paterson Garage. The buses would sit there until they were either sold either at auction, or as scrap. Some buses were also stored in the yard during the summer period, and in fact during the 2001 IAAF Track and Field Games, this yard was actually used to store buses in use. As of early 2006, this yard is no longer in existence. Due to a lack of garage space, ETS erected three large, heated tents in this location to park in-service buses. While buses waiting for parts are occasionally parked outside of the tents, the majority of the retired buses now find their way over to the compound behind the Paterson garage instead.
