[edit] Wierd juxtaposition of the Victorian and recent companies.

I find this article confusing and plain weird in the way it tries to cover two quite different companies which have similar names. One (more normally known as the LGOC) operated horse and motor buses in London between 1855 and the 1930s. The other was created in the 1980s. AFAIK, these are different legal entities. They operated in quite different environments, and have quite different histories. Granted, the second was named to honour the first.

I'm minded to split this article into two. Obviously links in both to acknowldge the naming of the second after the first, but otherwise seperate articles on the two companies. But before I do that, I'd appreciate other editors thoughts?. -- Chris j wood 13:20, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
