==== History ==== Located adjacent to the [[Northumberland Park railway station]] and the [[Victoria line]] depot, Northumberland Park bus garage was opened in 1991 to house the [[Walthamstow]] Citybus operation, a subsidiary of [[Capital Citybus]] formed when the operator acquired tenders for routes operated by the collapsed [[London Forest]] LRT business unit. Capital Citybus was bought out by a management team in late 1995, and subsequently by [[FirstGroup]] in 1998, becoming [[First London|First Capital]].<ref name="LyonsNP">{{cite magazine|last=Lyons|first=Mark|title=London bus garages: Northumberland Park|magazine=The London Bus|volume=7|date=2020|pages=36β40|location=Stamford|publisher=Key Publishing}}</ref> In March 2012, the FirstGroup sold Northumberland Park garage, together with its 13 Transport for London route contracts, fleet of 130 buses vehicles and around 400 staff members, to the Go-Ahead Group for Β£12 million, with the garage's operations integrated into London General.<ref name="NPBuyout" />
