context_section_description: In June 2013, Transit Systems purchased First London's Atlas Road (Park Royal), Lea Interchange (Leyton) and Westbourne Park garages with 24 London bus routes and 412 buses. Also included were contracts to operate three routes (425, N550 and N551) that had yet to commence.
  In October 2014, Tower Transit purchased Impact Group which operates 130 small buses for local authorities and schools out of depots in Ealing and Croydon. This was sold in August 2018 to the HCT Group.
  In January 2020, SeaLink Travel Group acquired Tower Transit and Transit Systems.
