Today, it is home to a busy network of services that are mainly focussed around Hammersmith. As well as providing bus services, the site houses the headquarters of First Bus London and our central engineering works.

Our Hounslow Heath base is located just two miles from London Heathrow so you would be correct in guessing that we know the airport rather well. For example, we run a 24-hour service between Greenford and Heathrow Central so if you’re booked on the red-eye for an early meeting, you can count on getting to the airport at any time of the day or night. We also run some urban services in Surrey.

Background:

Our Fulwell base opened in 1902 as a tram shed, and with 18 tracks, it was one of the largest in Greater London. Trams ran from the Fulwell site for more than 30 years, when they were replaced by trolley buses. In fact, our Fulwell location was the first in the London area to run trolleybuses. In 2021, electric buses were introduced for the first time at this garage.

Highlights:

• Provides good links to Underground and National Rail stations
• Eases congestion in a populated area
• Became our fifth electric garage in 2022
• Serves the North West area of London
