LdN: trave; london->NedRail->Abellio London

As you know, National Express had to sell their London bus operation some months ago, due to cashflow issues.
This operation was trading as Travel London, operating services tendered by TfL/London Buses, and Travel Surrey, operating services in Surrey outside the scope of London Buses operations.

The buyer was a company owned by the Dutch Railway company.

As of Friday, the operation was renamed to Abellio London , and this new trading name now appears on buses.

Route 407 was taken over from Arriva as of last Saturday.

The normal allocation is of brand new E200 darts, while some double decks also appear.

Here is the new and old on route 407- displaying the new trading name.

the third photo shows the new logo. note the Dutch Rail insignia on the right!

regards

Yes, London Buses sold east Thames Buses to Go Ahead Group, and extended the tenders for the routes run by East Thames buses, and converted them into normal 5-7 years QSI contracts .

The buses had the stickers changed to 'Go Ahead', but nothing changed; however, this weekend, route 132 moved to BX garage and route 201 to AL garage .
