This is actually their first overseas operations, and I hope it goes well for them  although Tower Transit would seem very odd in the Hammersmith/Shepherd's Bush etc. area |

The owner company (Transit Australia) run as Swan Transit in Perth and I think they've won some tenders in Sydney.

Why do many think its ELBG allover again? Remember Macquarie Bank were not bus operators. This new company actually has Experience in operating transport. Seriously we should see what this company has to offer before making stereotypical comments. |

Look for the clue in the name as to their heritage. I had not worked it out or had it pointed out until today.

So what about Quality Line, that was a small, family run business and look how it grew into a top performing TfL operator. They operate a 1000 buses across three Australian city's so they seem to know what they are doing. |

Oh very interesting - the Australian "baby" of Harry Blundred, he of Transit Holdings who ran in Exeter / Devon and Oxford. Of course he sold out to Stagecoach who remain in Devon and Oxford to this day. |

Guess we will have to watch this space. |

Hmm, Tower Transit, it reminds me of the name Tower Hamlets. And the name Transit reminds me of a van.  |

Look how Far Metrobus and Quality Line have come and are running services better than some larger operators. |
