London Buses route E2 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, England. Running between Greenford and Brentford garage, it is operated by Metroline. ==History== Route E2 was established on 30 November 1968 as a flat-fare route from Greenford to Brentford via Pitshanger Lane, Ealing Broadway station and Northfields, replacing former route 97.〔(Route E2 ) London Bus Routes〕 On 7 December 1975, the route was converted from AEC Routemaster to Daimler Fleetline operation.〔(DMS ) Ian's Bus Stop〕 In June 1984, route E2 was extended to Ruislip station, being further extended on summer Sundays to Ruislip Lido, replacing the former route 273.〔Wharmby, Matthew, ''The London Metrobus'' (Ian Allan Publishing, 2009). ISBN 978-0-7110-3377-1〕 When London Buses was split into eleven pre-privatisation subsidiaries in late 1988, route E2 came under the control of CentreWest. CentreWest was privatised in a management buyout in September 1994, before being acquired by FirstGroup in March 1997. In May 1997 route E2 was re-tendered and passed to Armchair Passenger Transport with Plaxton Pointer bodied Dennis Dart SLFs.
