context_page_description: Travel Surrey was a bus company operating services in Surrey. It was a subsidiary of National Express before being sold in May 2009 to NedRailways. In October 2009, it was rebranded as Abellio Surrey.
context_section_description: In June 2005, National Express purchased the London bus operations of Tellings-Golden Miller and integrated them into their Travel London subsidiary. This sale also included Tellings-Golden Millar's Byfleet depot. The legal company name was Travel London (West) Limited. It traded as Travel London. All vehicles underwent a repaint with the blue and white colours replaced with a livery of white with a red skirt.
  On 1 September 2007, the Byfleet service were rebranded as Travel Surrey. After National Express took over, some of the Surrey County Council tender routes were lost or given up. However, many are now operated once again. An example of this is the 426/446 Woking - Staines service, which was operated by Flights Hallmark, trading as Surrey Connect. However, Flights wound up their operation, so Travel Surrey took over the routes and some vehicles.
  In November 2007 National Express announced plans to re-brand all of their operations under a new unified National Express identity. Travel Surrey was to be rebranded as National Express Surrey however this was shelved and all bus operations retained their existing identities.
  In May 2009 National Express sold Travel Surrey to NedRailways. The sale included 27 Surrey County Council and Kingston University routes. All vehicles, depots and staff were included.
  On 30 October 2009 the businesses were rebranded as Abellio London and Abellio Surrey.
