This unit owns and operates London 's principal terminal for long distance bus and coach services. In 1988, Victoria Coach Station Limited was acquired by London Transport at the request of the Secretary of State for Transport.
Historically, Victoria Coach Station started at its present site in 1932, by London Coastal Coaches Limited , an association of Coach Operators. It is located on the corner of Buckingham Palace Road and Elizabeth Street, just half a mile from Buckingham Palace, and it replaced a Coach Terminal in Lupus Street, Pimlico . The company provided London terminal facilities for its shareholding operators and their passengers. Grouping of the Coach Operators had placed most of the shares of the company in the hands of operators who were part of the country s two large bus groups, Tilling and BET.
During the 1970 s, Victoria Coach Station was under the NBC subsidiary, National Travel (South East) Limited. At the end of 1978, the London Coastal Coaches Company was brought back to life and renamed Victoria Coach Station Limited with the need to improve corporate management.
