First Beeline Buses,〔(Companies House extract company no 2179403 ) First Beeline Buses Limited〕 trading as First Berkshire & The Thames Valley, is a bus operator providing services in Slough and Wokingham. It is a subsidiary of FirstGroup. ==History== In January 1986 The Berks Bus Company〔(Companies House extract company no 1966624 ) First Rail Support Limited formerly The Berks Bus Company Limited〕 took over the Bracknell, High Wycombe, Maidenhead, Newbury, Reading and Wokingham operations of Alder Valley as part of the privatisation of the National Bus Company. In late 1987 The Berks Bus Company was sold to Q Drive and renamed Beeline.〔(The BeeLine Timeline ) Busworld〕 In 1990 the High Wycombe operations were sold to the Oxford Bus Company, and in 1992 the Reading and Newbury operations were sold to Reading Transport. In 1993 Beeline purchased the Slough operations of Luton & District Transport, until 1986 the Slough depot of London Country Bus Services and later part of the London Country North West division.〔 In March 1996 Beeline was sold to CentreWest who in turn was sold to FirstGroup in March 1997. Initially trading as First Beeline, in 2001 it was rebranded as First Berkshire & The Thames Valley. Following the loss of nine Bracknell Forest Council supported services to Courtney Buses on 13 July 2015 and the sale of route 90 Bracknell to Reading to Reading Buses on 26 July 2015, the Bracknell garage closed on 28 August 2015.〔(Changes coming for Bracknell's bus users ) ''Get Reading'' 25 June 2015〕〔"Courtney Buses takes over First Bracknall services" ''Coach & Bus Weekly'' issue 1198 21 July 2015 page 10〕〔(We take over route 90 to Bracknell ) Reading Buses〕 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「First Berkshire & The Thames Valley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
