Since the start of tendering in 1985, some codes have also reflected the name of the owning company, examples being AH ( Armc hair, Brentford), EL ( Eastern Nationa l, Chelmsford), WI ( Wings, Uxbridge), BE ( Blue Triangl e, Rainham). Such company names may not still be in use today: DX ( Arriva London North East, Barking) originates from Di x Travel, which was absorbed into Grey-Green, becoming its Dagenham operation, and subsequently relocated to Barking, and now absorbed by Arriva London. Similarly BT (Sovereign, Edgware) comes from BTS, which was subsequently bought out by Sovereign, and Hounslow Heath code WK originates from Westlin k. The official code FR for Metrobus's Crayford base is especially obscure, referring to the original owner, one Chris Freeman of Freeman's Coaches, which was absorbed into Crystals, which subsequently sold out to Tellings-Golden Miller in 2003, who then sold it on to Metrobus in 2005.
