History
Blue Triangle have existed since at least the late 80s/early 90s operating Essex route 500 on evenings on Sundays in the early days of deregulation.
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 at Denver Industrial Estate, Ferry Lane, Rainham.
On 29 June 2007 the company was acquired by the Go-Ahead Group, for a total sum of £12 million. Go-Ahead has not bought the special vehicles; all heritage vehicles have remained the property of the former managing director, Roger Wright, who is involved with the restored Epping Ongar Railway.
In August 2008 a new trading name for Go-Ahead's London operations was created: Go-Ahead London.

“If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of a completely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.”
