[edit] History

Blue Triangle have long been known for their rail replacement services and also assisting London Buses when other companies gave up routes early, or in the case of London Easylink in 2002, folded completely. The yard is on an industrial estate and surrounded by Frieghtliner boxes.

The yard is also adjacent to Arriva OLST depot and the rear of First London's Rainham Depot. The yard also houses a number of special vehicles including an ex-Green Line RMC, RM's and RT's for use on Private Hire duties. One of the aforementioned RT's ran a special marking the end of Blue Triangles assistance on route 185. The famous stunt driver Dave Tomlin has said of the company; " I really enjoy driving their buses."
