Greenline London Transport

Public Transport

Something Missing?

Green Line Coaches Limited was formed on 9 July 1930 by the LGOC, which from 1927 had built up a network of coach services from London to towns up to 30 miles away, comprising 60 vehicles on eight routes.

In 1933, Green Line was itself absorbed - into the new London Passenger Transport Board. Poland Street coach station was closed, and almost all routes were re-organised into a newly-lettered, cross-London route structure.

At their height in the 1950s and 60s they were carrying around 36 million passenger journeys a year, but began to decline in the 1970s alongside increased car ownership and a faster commuter rail network.
