The London General Omnibus Company was founded in 1855 to run the horse-drawn carriages in London . Following a merger in 1908 with the London Motor Omnibus Company, famous for its Vanguard buses, it was acquired two years later by the Underground Electric Railway Company of London Ltd. Manufacture of buses had started in Walthamstow in 1910, but in 1912, the manufacturing activity became the Associated Equipment Company (AEC) and the public transport operation continued under the name of London General. In 1933, all public transport was amalgamated under the newly-formed London Passenger Transport Board.To celebrate the 50 th anniversary of London Transport,in April 1983,

The first prototype Routemaster made it's debut in 1954, this new vehicle was designed by LT and was intended to build on the success of the earlier RT, RM1 originally appeared with a solid front grille, however by the time it and the second prototype finally entered passenger service in 1956, both had received a revised front radiator grille that bore a closer resemblance to the actual production vehicles. The Routemaster was the successor to the RT, and like in predecessor it was designed by London Transport to handle the rigors of service in the capital. The first production vehicles entered service in 1959, replacing trolleybuses at Popular and West Ham garages. In all over 2100 standard length Routemasters entered service between 1959 and 1964.

The utility double decker was a product developed during the Second World War to counter the growing shortage of double deck buses.Most bus production had been halted or highly restricted during the early war years, with bus chassis manufactures and body builders being instead involved in production of essential military equipment.However it soon became clear that the combination of enemy action, aging vehicles, and shortages of parts was affecting operator’s ability to maintain services. The Ministry of Supply thus allowed selected manufactures, including Guy, Bristol, Daimler and Leyland to produce bus chassis', while a limited number of bodybuilders were allowed to build bodies to a highly restrictive specification. These bodies were built using un-seasoned timber, limited interior panelling, and the design also omitted any non essential radiuses sections, allowing a saving in scarce materials and labour time. From the passenger’s point of view, comfort wasn't a high priority, as most of the vehicles were supplied with rather basic.

Ensignbus are Britains largest used double deck bus dealer and have been supplying buses since 1972.As well as the dealership side Ensignbus has also operated many of its own buses on commercial routes.sightseing and rail replacement and continues to operate many buses throughout the UK

AEC 4Q4 single deck bus - London Passenger Transport Board (1934 Wartime).

AEC 4Q4 Single Deck Bus, London Passenger Transport Board (Wartime).

Replicating an original AEC Q as launched in 1932, and in the authentic 1930s period livery of London Transport, this 1/76 scale Limited Edition features photo-etched opening engine cover and glazed destination boxes, detailed driver cab interior and side door.

In 1932 there suddenly appeared on the London streets a revolutionary new design with a full front and seats in the position where orthodox passenger vehicles had engines. An entirely new design of chassis was evolved by AEC at Southall, with the engine posistioned on the offside frame member behind the front axle. After the success of the single deck Q with L.G.O.C and provincial operators, the L.P.T.B ordered 102 4Q4 type for Country Area bus work which entered service throughout 1935. Although far ahead if its time, the Q Type was only in production for 4 years but it paved the way for the underfloor engined type so much in evidence today. In August 1952, Q75 was withdrawn from normal passenger work and converted for use by the service fleet as a training vehicle for Civil Defence exercises, in which capacity it was converted into a mobile gas unit. It was renumbered in May 1954 to Q1035CD.

In 1947 the London Transport Board ordered 1500 Leylands, of which 500 were to be 8ft wide, based on the standard Leyland Titan PD2/3. The engine was a standard 9.8 litre 125bhp, derated for fuel economy and drive was by fluid flywheel and preselector gearbox, supplied by AEC. In general appearance the RTW resembled the RT closely, despite being based on Leylands own body structure, though the extra width was obvious. It was at the rear that the RTW was least like the rest of the RT family, the most obvious being the differently shaped emergency window and the Leyland style guttering. RTW4, registration number KGK 504 was delivered to Tottenham (AK) in June 1949 for service on route 41.

Harris Bus Co. Ltd. was forced into administration in December 1999. No buyer was forthcoming so, in March 2000 London Buses Ltd. trading as East Thames Buses took over the 64 vehicle operation but not the Harris Bus name . Some vehicles since have been painted in all over red livery.

PDL 27, registration number X527 GGO is part of a batch of vehicles delvered new, from Plaxton Scarborough in December 2000 for operation on Tffl route 289. This is based at the Arriva London Beddington Farm garage (code CN) in Beddington Farm Road, Croydon. As delivered the bus was in Arriva red livery with cream "cow horns". The bus is a 10.7m length Dennis Dart SLF fitted with Plaxton Pointer 2 bodywork, equipped with a Cummins Euro 2 engine and regenerating exhaust particulate trap. The bus has individual seats for 31 passengers with 27 standees or 22 standees with one wheelchair, the wheelchair ramp is situated at the centre door. Following the award of this contract in 2005, the bus was refurbished and repainted in London Buses red with a white roof together with route descriptor (for aerial identification). Route 289 operates between Purley Station (Whytecliffe Road) and Elmers End Green, via West Croydon. The route is 9.75 miles end to end, and takes roundly one hour each way. Daytime frequency is 15 minutes, widening to 30 minutes during evenings.

The Metrobus manufactured by Metropolitan Cammell Weymann in Birmingham, was the next volume purchase by London Transport of new double deck buses after the DMS. With LT running Metropolitans from the same manufacturer, they took a demonstrater on loan at the end of 1977. This resulted in a trial of 5 vehicles running in 1978/9 that was first succesul so orders were placed for a significant numbers that were progressively introduced from 1979. The production vehicles could be distinguished from the trial vehicles as they had smaller, Routemaster style, blind boxes. LT considered the MkII version by trialling a pair against Leyland Olympian, Dennis Dominator and Volvo B55 types. A third Metrobus MkII was also due for delivery as a MkIII prototype but never materialised, like the MkIII Metrobus itself. Apart from a number of single door MkII's for Harrow and a few secondhand vehicles bought from the north of England the LT fleet was all MkI with the asymmetrical widscreen design. The LT Metrobus fleet went on to total 1,485 with LT becoming the biggest customer for the Metrobus, even beating West Midlands Travel in whose territory the Metrobus was built. M331 ended its London sevice running for London General.

The D9 was first unveiled in 1958. It was build by the Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Co Ltd. For use on its large midlands network.

The RMC origins date back to June 1957 when London Transport took delivery of CRL4, this fourth and final prototype Routemaster had an ECW body designed specifically for use on the Green Line network. The most notable outward difference affected the rear which was modified to allow the fitting of electrically operated platform doors. CRL4 entered service in October 1957 on route 721, after some early teething problems were sorted out the bus moved from Romford to High Wycombe where it took up duties on route 711. Public reaction to the bus was favourable resulting in London Transport ordering 68 Park Royal bodied vehicles in 1961, originally it was planned that these would be called the CR class (Coach Routemaster) however this was changed to RMC before the first one were delivered in 1962.The batch RMC1453 to 1520 were very similar to the prototype expect for the front layout which apart from twin headlamp's was to the then standard RM design. The first buses entered service on route 715 operated by Guildford Garage on August 29th 1962. The rest of the class quickly followed resulting in a total of 8 routes being converted to the type.CRL4's frontal area was eventually modified to match the production vehicles and the bus was classified RMC4 however it remained unique as only Routemaster not carry a Park Royal Vehicles built body.

68 vehicles were built for use on Green Line routes from 1962. This production batch, classified RMC (Routemaster Coach), were built as 57-seaters, with fully enclosed platforms with electrically-operated doors, air suspension, fluorescent lighting, different interior trim, luggage racks and twin headlamps. In 1965, 43 further Green Line coaches were built to the longer (RML) 30ft length and classified RCL. These were 65-seaters and were equipped with larger AEC engines.

A front entrance vehicle RMF1254 was built and used in trials on the B.E.A. West London Air Terminal to Heathrow service, this lend to an order for 65 front entrance vehicles which entered service in 1966, however these were built to the shorter RM length and had twin head lamps like the RMC's .RMF1254 was also used as a demonstrator and was evaluated by a several operators across the UK, in the end only one other operator purchased Routemasters. Northern General placed a order for 29 long front entrance versions in 1965 and these were similar to RMF1254 which eventually joined it's Northern cousins.The Northern General examples were all withdrawn by the end of 1980, however 12 examples were purchased by London Transport with a view to returning them to service in the capital, in the end however the project was aborted and all the buses were sold without use.

'Queen Mary' 410 spent most of its working life with southdown in Eastbourne, Brighton and Portsmouth. After withdrawal in 1988, 410 passed to Ensign Bus in Rainham, Essex, who sold it on immediately to The Kings Ferry in Gillingham, Kent.

London United began as London United Tramways in the early 1900s. They were bought out by Stanwell Buses Ltd (Westlink) from London Transport in 1995 and by Trandev in 1997. They once operated trams (until 1933) and trolleybuses (until 1952). The name was reincarnated when London United Busways set up as a subsidary of London Buses during the late 80s. Upon privatisation in 1994, it was purchased by a management buyout and remained London United. In 1997 the bus company was puchased by French transport group Transdev. London United operates approxmately 60 routes on contract to Tfl (Transport for London) and employs around 2000 staff.
