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.

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 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. In several cases (TB/TC/TL and QB) the code reflects both the location (Bromley/Croydon/Lewisham (Catford), Battersea) and the original owning company ( Tilling, Q-Drive). For example TB is Tilling Bromley, QB is Q-Drive Battersea. [3]a b c d Carr, Ken (September 2014). The London Bus Guide (4ed.). Boreham: Visions International Entertainment. p.111.
