Garage
Byfleet
Their address is:
- Unit 20A Wintersells Road
- WEST BYFLEET
- KT14 7LF
This garage holds 43 buses, and runs Surrey County Council bus routes 218, 441, 451, 461, 471, 513, 514, 515/515A, 555, and 557. There are two parts at each end of the Wintersells Industrial Estate.
History
Travel London moved into Byfleet depot in June 2005 after buying out the former operator Tellings-Golden Miller. The company name used was Travel London (West) Ltd, but still traded as Travel London(now Travel Surrey). After a slow start and some changes in the management structure the business is going from strength to strength. In buying TGM, Travel London effectively doubled their presence in the London area and are fast becoming a familiar name across the capital. Travel Surrey currently run a fleet of approximately 104 buses from this depot and are aggressively trying to win further tenders for TfL servcies in the West London area. All vehicles underwent a repaint programme and had the blue and white colours of TGM replaced with a more familiar fleet of red vehicles. TGM did operate services into Surrey, but under National Express Group's reign some of these have been given up. An example of this is the 426/446 Woking - Staines service, now operated by Flights Hallmark, trading as Surrey Connect. However, after Flights wound up their operation, many of the routes were regained.
