Abellio London and Abellio Surrey are bus companies operating services in Greater London and Surrey. They are subsidiaries of Abellio and operate services under contract to Transport for London and Surrey County Council. ==History== The origins of Abellio 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 Buses, who in July 2001 sold out to Connex. In February 2004, National Express repurchased the business.〔(National Express buys 200 London buses ) ''The Telegraph'' 27 February 2004〕 Further expansion in 2005 saw the purchases of the London bus operations of Tellings-Golden Miller with a depot in Byfleet and various Surrey County Council contracts.〔(National Express Group purchases the London Bus Division of Tellings Golden Miller ) National Express corporate news 1 June 2005〕 Travel London operated contracts on behalf of Transport for London, Surrey County Council, and Kingston University.
