History
The garage was opened in 2007 after Waterden Road was closed to allow the site to be redeveloped for the 2012 Olympic Games.[3]
In May 2008, all buses along with the trainers were moved into the new West Ham garage, meaning Rainham no longer operated any Transport for London routes. Rainham carried out all the engineering work until the new West Ham garage was completed in 2009.[4]
Transport for London routes returned to Rainham on 27 September 2008 when route 248 commenced.[3][5]
Fleet
As at May 2015, East London had a peak vehicle requirement of 97 buses.[2]
