Company history

Metroline was founded in 1989 by London Buses Limited, privatised in 1994, and acquired by ComfortDelgro in 2000. It also incorporates the Metroline London Northern subsidiary, which was acquired from MTL London. Between 2004 and 2005, Metroline stepped up its expansion drive, purchasing two smaller London bus operators, Armchair and Thorpes. The latter two companies continued to operate under their former names until 6 January 2007, when they merged with Metroline. It is the first operator to order Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 buses, of which 28 entered service in early 2006 on cross-city route 24. On 14 and 20 November 2006 Metroline bus drivers staged two, one day strikes over pay. It was the first London bus drivers strike of its kind in the 21st century and was successful as management increased their offer from an initial offer of 3% to 5.75% on all elements of pay. It was accepted by drivers in December 2006. An Enviro 400 bus, a modern interpretation of the famous London red double-decker. ...

History

Started operating as a bus garage in 1990 by Armchair transport initially to house its recently won route 260 buses. The base had previously been used as a coach operating base which at the time was Armchair's main business. Armchair was bought out in 2005 by ComfortDelgro Holdings, the parent company of Metroline, although it continued to trade separately under the Armchair name until 2007. Since the take over a number of buses from the Metroline fleet have operated on Armchair routes.

History

When Edgware garage was first opened by the LGOC in 1925 it had space for 24 buses, but there was plenty of room adjacent to the Underground station which had recently been built. In 1939 a new building was built next to the original building which was to become the new Bus Station, while the remaining open parking area was used to store vehicles for the trolleybus replacement programme. In 1984 a new 100 bus garage was built on old railway land at a cost of £4.5 million, However in 1992 Edgware garage was planned for closure, as Cricklewood garage was to become a fully functioning garage with new facilities. The outdoor parking area and the bus station then became a midibus base in 1993, with a new bus wash and light maintenance facilities provided in the yard. Then in 1999, London Sovereign, who had won some recent tenders in the North East London area, took on a 10 year lease on half of Edgware garage and invested in new maintenance facilities which was to replace its former base at Borehamwood. In late 2000 Metroline moved back into the other half of the garage, making it one of the few garages to be shared by two operators.

History

Harrow Weald garage was opened in 1930 by the LGOC to replace the much smaller South Harrow garage. The new garage had to be extended over the forecourt just two years later to provide additional space. In its earlier years the garage was used by the LGOC to house its experimental vehicles including the Daimler CH6's and the first diesel bus (ST). In 1987 Harrow Weald was the base for the new Harrow Buses operation set up by London Transport which had won tenders for a new local network. The garage survived the collapse of Harrow Buses and passed to Metroline and in 1994 just short of 60 buses were based there. The garage also undertakes engineering work on buses based at North Wembley and Edgware garages. Every garage operating services that form part of the London Bus network is given an official London Bus garage code. ...

History

Originally opened as Holloway Tram Depot in 1907, it was the largest of LCC's sheds with space for 336 trams. It was renamed Highgate in 1950 to avoid confusion with Holloway ("J") Bus Garage, and then back to Holloway in 1971 following the closure of the original Holloway garage. The garage then had an allocation of 210 buses although that drifted downwards until 1993 when the closure of Chalk Farm and the transfer of 5 routes into the garage meant Holloway was once again bursting at the seams. Today the garage is almost at capacity levels with around 200 buses allocated in addition to the outstation at Kings Cross. A prize route for Holloway, and for Metroline, since it was wrested back from Grey-Green in 2002, route 24 was lost to London General (Stockwell Garage) in November 2007.

History

Opened in 1930 at a cost of over £48,000 by the LGOC subsidiary 'Overground', it was nearly closed in the 1960s as it was too far north to be useful to the red bus network. It survived but soon faced closure again in the 1980s during deregulation. This time it was saved after crews accepted a revised pay agreement and the depot tendered for and won Hertfordshire County Council routes. During the Second World War and in the run up to the Festival of Britain the garage was used as a storage facility for buses. In 1952 the garage allocation consisted entirely of RT's with some 68 as a daily requirement. In 1973 the experimental FRM1 was allocated to the garage for single bus route 284 and lasted there until 1976. The garage has seen an interesting mix of buses over the years ranging from Ford minibuses and A class Dodges to Volvo Ailsa's and the route branded X43 Scania's when Finchley Garage closed. Bus deregulation in Great Britain came into force on 26 October 1986, and is formally known as the 1985 Transport Act. ...

Opened in 1902 Willesden was used for major Chassis overhauls before Chiswick Works opened in 1921. During World War II it was also use to provide major body overhauls. Prior to the war its allocation consisted mainly of ST's and STL's whilst RT's and RTW's were the main allocation afterwards. Prototype RM (RML3) was allocated to the garage in 1958, and then ran the first production RM's on route 8 in 1959. These moved on for trolleybus replacement later that year but RM's reappeared in 1965 to replace the RTW's. Improvements to the garage were made in 1975 to enlarge its capacity from 90-120 in order for the stonebridge allocation to be moved in, although the talk of providing staff housing on the site never materialised and Stonebridge work didn't move to AC, but to Westbourne Park (X). In 1994 Metroline became the first ex-London Buses company to expand when it bought Atlas Bus & Coach, regaining the 52 which it had earlier lost under tendering although it continued to be operated from Harlesden until 1995.
