EnthusiastsHistorySullivan Buses was formed in 1998 by its owner, Dean Sullivan, who previously worked as a manager for London Underground Ltd. One of Dean’s responsibilities with LUL was to organise railway replacement bus services. Independently of this, Dean owned three preserved ex-London buses and, with the assistance of a large bus operator, certified one of these buses for class six (PSV) use. Amongst Sullivan Buses' first PSV jobs was work for the Docklands Light Railway and London Underground. This success encouraged the company to purchase its first OPO double decker in 1998. This bus was a former London Buses Leyland Titan (T85) purchased from Leaside Buses Limited. From here work soon grew and this first bus was soon joined by T890. In 1999 a depot was established at South Mimms Motorway Service Area in Hertfordshire. This was supplemented by the former White Rose depot in Surrey in February 2002, since replaced by a base at Thorpe Park. Sullivan Buses has grown considerably since those early days and currently operates regular bus services in Hertfordshire and Surrey on the London boundary. and is heavily involved in assisting railway companies with replacement bus services when engineering work disrupts rail travel. With the exception of our "heritage" buses, our fleet is fully wheelchair accessible. Modern
