Garage History

Fulwell Bus Garage was initially established as a tram depot by London United Tramways in 1902.

The depot made history by being the first to transition to Trolleybus operation in May 1931, eventually becoming London Transport’s primary trolleybus workshop a few years later.

In May 1962, Fulwell proudly became one of the last two garages to transition to motorbus operation, ending this era.

Fulwell underwent a major internal reconstruction between 1986 and 1987, with the garage being divided into two parts.

The London United subsidiary of London Buses occupied the section facing Wellington Road, while the other half facing Stanley Road was rented out for different purposes.

In 1999, Tellings Golden Miller took over the lease for the Stanley Road side and started running buses. This went on until 2005 when the Tellings Golden Miller operation was purchased by Travel London.

Later, in May 2009, it became a part of Abellio London after another sale.

In February 2023, Abellio’s UK operations were subject to a management buyout, resulting in the renaming of Abellio London to TransportUK London Bus.
