In the early part of the 20th Century, the London General Omnibus Company (LGOC) allocated its garages codes by going through the alphabet – initially A, B, C, etc; and then AA, AB, AC, etc. Joyce, James (1988). London Transport Bus Garages Since 1948. Ian Allan Publishing. ISBN 0711018022. Palmers Green - Wood Green - Harringay - Manor House - Newington Green - Hoxton - Moorgate - London Bridge Some premises have had different codes at different times in their life, and indeed three (Edgware, Fulwell and Ash Grove) currently have two codes simultaneously, one for each operator. Dalrymple, Will (8 May 2018). "London's low-carbon electric bus garage". Transport Engineer . Retrieved 14 November 2021.Since the start of tendering in 1985, some codes have also reflected the name of the owning company, examples being AH ( Armc hair, Brentford), EL ( Eastern Nationa l, Chelmsford), WI ( Wings, Uxbridge), BE ( Blue Triangl e, Rainham). Such company names may not still be in use today: DX ( Arriva London North East, Barking) originates from Di x Travel, which was absorbed into Grey-Green, becoming its Dagenham operation, and subsequently relocated to Barking, and now absorbed by Arriva London. Similarly BT (Sovereign, Edgware) comes from BTS, which was subsequently bought out by Sovereign, and Hounslow Heath code WK originates from Westlin k. The official code FR for Metrobus's Crayford base is especially obscure, referring to the original owner, one Chris Freeman of Freeman's Coaches, which was absorbed into Crystals, which subsequently sold out to Tellings-Golden Miller in 2003, who then sold it on to Metrobus in 2005. [3] Every garage operating services that form part of the LBSL network is given an official LBSL garage code (right hand column). BT (London Sovereign, Edgware) originally came from Borehamwood Town, depot of the erstwhile BTS, which was subsequently bought out by Sovereign and re-located to Edgware. The fourth column is the list of London area routes, but in some cases the garages operate other bus routes, or other kinds of work such as coaching, which are not listed.

Most bus routes in London are operated by various companies under management contracts to London Buses, part of Transport for London. Complaints, commendations, comments and suggestions relating to these should therefore be directed to TfL. FE comes from F. E. Thorpe & sons, sold out to Metroline; in this case TfL have changed the official code to a geographical one, PA.

Beware that just because a garage is shown as operating on a particular route does not mean it is the only, or the main, garage to do so. The code also rather conveniently formed the first two letters of the company name, and was therefore adopted by LT.The owners of Palmers Green bus garage, Arriva London ("a DB Company" - ie owned by the German state railways), have applied for planning permission to demolish two buildings next to the garage (to its east) and use the land as an open-air bus park. However, there are no plans to expand the number of buses which are housed at the garage - the maximum number will remain at 69. This number of buses is in fact rather too many for the size of the building, meaning that manoeuvring of buses within the garage is difficult and potentially unsafe, and the new parking capacity will alleviate this problem.
