Talk:East London (bus company)

1. 10.2m Darts are still in use, though I accept this is somewhat academic as the routes they're used on are moving on Sunday. Leave it alone for now.

2. Surely the web address should be the current one that works?!

Route 97
Will route 97 entirely be operated from West Ham (WH)? CourtneyBonnick (talk) 23:20, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Alexander Dennis Enviro400H Hybrids on route 205
For the benefit of (User talk:90.199.203.128), Alexander Dennis Enviro400H Hybrids are regularly used on route 205. Granted most services on this route are operated by Scania OmniCitys, but they do appear often enough to be classified as regular.

The statement 'Stagecoach did not allocate them to it' is wrong, as Stagecoach allocate them to route 205 on a daily basis. Just because a bus type was ordered for a specific route, in this case 15 does not mean they operate exclusively on this route.

The title of the heading is 'Bus types in use', not 'Bus types ordered specifically for route' hence their inclusion is appropriate.Mo7838 (talk) 14:30, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Romford (NS)
The description of Romford garage is slightly confusing. As you say, Romford's code is NS (for North Street) but that was because the original Romford garage had already been given the code RD when opened by the LGOC in 1924; its name being changed to Hornchurch when North Street garage was opened in 1953. London Road garage was opened by Edward Hillman's Saloon Coaches Ltd in 1932, was taken over by the London Passenger Transport Board in 1933 and finally closed in 1977. It was probably given the code RE possibly to indicate Romford green linE but more likely because that was the next combination after RD. Haynesta (talk) 11:03, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Merge proposal
I propose merging Thameside (bus company) into East London (bus company). The name is no longer used by Stagecoach (although the same can be said about East London and Selkent too), and is merely a holdover from the ELBG days. The article states that the company is headquartered in West Ham, so information mainly concentrated on Rainham bus garage could easily be redirected to the East London article.

 * Oppose, just because a name has fallen out of use is not reason enough to merge. Hsparsity (talk) 06:52, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
