Operation
Stagecoach London operates London contracted services under the brands East London, Selkent and Thameside, but these brands tended to be overwhelmed by the much stronger London Buses brand. There also used to be a coaching operation under the brand East London Coaches which ceased operation in February 2007 and a Travelshop which closed in March 2009 that was based at the Company's Ilford Head Office. The Office is now at the new West Ham Garage in Stephenson Street, Canning Town, London E16.

Famous quotes containing the word operation:
“Waiting for the race to become official, he began to feel as if he had as much effect on the final outcome of the operation as a single piece of a jumbo jigsaw puzzle has to its predetermined final design. Only the addition of the missing fragments of the puzzle would reveal if the picture was as he guessed it would be.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
“It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding. The only idea of wit, or rather that inferior variety of the electric talent which prevails occasionally in the North, and which, under the name of “Wut,” is so infinitely distressing to people of good taste, is laughing immoderately at stated intervals.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
“Human knowledge and human power meet in one; for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed; and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule.”
—Francis Bacon (1560–1626)
