We want to raise quality standards. As part of this we are the first bus company in the UK to have introduced a fully realistic Bus Driving Simulator. The simulator, which is jointly funded by First and London Buses, complements on-the-road training and is already proving very effective.

We were the first company to run articulated single deck buses in the capital (experimental launch in 2002). Mercedes Benz Citaro articulated buses entered service in November 2003 on route 18 and in April 2005 on route 207.
