Talk:Metrobus (London bus company)

Founded
Should the founded date be when Go-Ahead London acquired Metrobus (London) in July 2013 or when Go-Ahead acquired Metrobus in 1999? CourtneyBonnick (talk) 23:20, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The pre July 2013 London history should be moved back the South East article, and the London article focus on the post July 2013 events, although obviously with a synopsis of the London history from 1999. Do we know what accreditation details the London fleet is operating under, the old Metrobus Limited or something else? Mo7838 (talk) 23:49, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Non that I know of. CourtneyBonnick (talk) 00:25, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Suggest this article be merged back with the Metrobus (South East England) article with a brief note that responsibility for the Transport for London routes was transferred to Go-Ahead London in July 2013, before being integrated into London General in June 2014. This page should then be set up as a redirect. Mo7838 (talk) 10:03, 30 May 2014 (UTC)


 * What about the photos do they go back to Metrobus (South East England) or go to London General? CourtneyBonnick (talk) 12:13, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Would have thought the Metrobus (South East England) article should be more-or-less reverted to how it was before being split on 15 May. As it should cover the history up until transferred to London General, would be appropriate to include buses from the 1999-2014 era on Transport for London services.

 * Comment As much as merging sounds good, the source provided is unofficial. I would like to see a formal proposal before committing. ayc li ffe talk 15:21, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
