Blue Triangle〔(Companies House extract company no 3770568 ) Blue Triangle Buses Limited〕 is a bus company operating services in East London. It is a subsidiary of the Go-Ahead Group and operates most services under contract to Transport for London. It is the operator of the East London Transit service. ==History== Blue Triangle had been formed by Roger Wright by 1988, originally operating out of Romford. The first regular bus service to be operated by the company was the Essex Heritage Route 622 from Great Yeldham to Harlow during 1988. The service was operated under contract to Essex County Council. Two former London Transport Executive AEC Regent III RT buses were used, RT2150 and RT2799. Both were painted in modified London Transport red livery with cream lower deck window area and cream upper deck below the windows. They had a red inter-deck band. Blue Triangle also provided buses for London Sight-seeing tours at this time. Following the success of these operations Blue Triangle operated Essex route 500 on evenings on Sundays in the early days of deregulation. Blue Triangle have long been an operator of rail replacement services and also assisted London Buses when other companies gave up routes early. In August 2002, Blue Triangle took over route 185 at short notice after London Easylink ceased trading.〔"No blinds needed, it's a 185" ''Buses'' issue 572 November 2002〕 On 29 June 2007, Blue Triangle was purchased by the Go-Ahead Group.〔(Acquisition of Blue Triangle Buses Limited ) Go-Ahead Group 29 June 2007〕 The sale included eight Transport for London and nine Essex County Council routes and approximately 60 buses, but not the charter fleet which were retained by Roger Wright trading as The London Bus Company.〔(Companies House extract company no 6304920 ) The London Bus Company Limited〕 In August 2008, Go-Ahead's London bus operations all adopted the Go-Ahead London trading name, although the individual company names are still applied beneath the logo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blue Triangle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
