Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A group of ex-Transdev London buses, seen here in Canal Bridge industrial estate, New Haw, Surrey. The buses left the Transdev London fleet after new buses arrived there, and for a few months a good collection of these Dennis Dart SLF/Plaxton Pointer 2s built up at this site. Various buses and coaches from other sources also turned up to be stored. The Transdev Darts have all found new homes now. This space was once occupied by actual bus companies: Thames Bus set up here in the early 2000s, and were later acquired by an expanding Centra. Centra eventually sold the business to Flights Hallmark (part of Rotala) in 2005, the company being rebranded as Surrey Connect. In 2007, Rotala sold the business to focus on their other, larger, operations. The buyer was Wiltax, who were the other bus company that occupied this site at the time, although Surrey Connect's main routes, the 426 and 446, transferred to Travel Surrey based down the road (and who ironically ran the 426 and 446 before Surrey Connect). By June 2007, Wiltax had been acquired by Tellings-Golden Miller, who gradually scaled down operations at the site (moving it slowly to their Heathrow depot, and with some Surrey bus routes transferring to other companies), until September 2008 when operations at the New Haw site finally stopped. There have been no public transport buses based at the site since, with this area now being used to store buses and by private hire coach companies, as well as the other units at the far end of the industrial estate for non-bus related activities.
