==Company history==
On 1 April 1989, London Buses was divided into 11 separate business units, one of which was Metroline.〔(Companies House extract company no 2328608 ) Metroline London Northern〕 As part of the privatisation of London bus services, Metroline was sold in October 1994 to a management buyout. In July 1998, it purchased MTL London and in March 2000 was sold to DelGro Corporation.〔(History ) Metroline〕 In August 2004 ComfortDelGro purchased Thorpes〔(Companies House extract company no 2544617 ) FE Thorpe & Sons〕 and in November 2004 Armchair Passenger Transport〔(Companies House extract company no 675672 ) Armchair Passenger Transport Company Limited〕 with seven routes and 86 buses. Initially both retained their existing names before being rebranded in January 2007.〔
When privatised, Metroline adopted a livery of red with a dark blue skirt. This was briefly changed to light blue in the mid 2000s before the dark blue was reinstated. In June 2009, Metroline adopted an all red scheme to comply with Transport for London requirements. In 2014, a blue, white and red livery was introduced on buses dedicated to non Transport for London services.〔"Metroline brings back blue beyond Tfl-land" ''Buses'' issue 713 August 2014 page 21〕
On 22 June 2013, Metroline purchased First London's Alperton, Greenford, Hayes, Uxbridge and Willesden Junction depots with 494 buses.〔(FirstGroup Announces Sale of Eight London Bus Depots ) FirstGroup 10 April 2013〕
