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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“The true theater of history is therefore the temperate zone.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
