SalaryOur Hounslow hub was opened in 1913 on the former site of Hounslow Town station. It has, of course, been updated, expanded and renovated since then and is a modern operations centre for a dense network of routes. As well as being the first location in London to run low-floor buses, the base began a small trial of four electric buses in 2014. The buses ran until 2020 and provided much useful information about zero emissions operation, which we shared with Transport for London
