Details
The London General Omnibus Company was founded in 1855 to run the horse-drawn carriages in London . Following a merger in 1908 with the London Motor Omnibus Company, famous for its Vanguard buses, it was acquired two years later by the Underground Electric Railway Company of London Ltd. Manufacture of buses had started in Waltham stow in 1910, but in 1912, the manufacturing activity became the Associated Equipment Company (AEC) and the public transport operation continued under the name of London General. In 1933, all public transport was amalgamated under the newly-formed London Passenger Transport Board. To celebrate the 50 th anniversary of London Transport, in April 1983, RM1933 was repainted at Chalk Farm Garage in the famous London General livery, a company which had played such a key role in the capital's transport, as both operator and manufacturer.
