The story
The origins of Transport UK London Bus can be traced back to June 1998, when National Express commenced operating routes C1 and 211 under the Travel London brand. In August 2000, National Express sold the business to Limebourne, who in July 2001 sold out to Connex. In February 2004, National Express repurchased the business. Travel London operated contracts on behalf of Transport for London (TfL).
On 21 May 2009, National Express sold Travel London to Abellio. The sale included 36 TfL-tendered services. All vehicles, depots and staff were included. On 30 October 2009 the business was rebranded as Abellio London.
Abellio London was included in the sale of Abellio's United Kingdom businesses to Transport UK Group in February 2023. The new group began the process of rebranding Abellio London to Transport UK London Bus from early 2024, with the rebrand officially taking effect from 2 March 2024.
