Garage History
The bus garage was established in 1999 by Q-Drive to serve its Limebourne operation. Unfortunately, Q-Drive faced financial difficulties and went out of business by the end of that year. However, Limebourne persevered and continued its operations until being acquired by Connex in July 2001.
Connex was acquired by National Express and underwent a rebranding as Travel London in February 2004. Later, it was sold to NedRailways, the Dutch national rail operator, in May 2009. In October of the same year, the company was again rebranded as Abellio London.
In February 2023, Abellio’s UK operations were subject to a management buyout, resulting in the renaming of Abellio London to TransportUK London Bus.
