Transdev subsidiary London Sovereign has its roots in the Borehamwood company, BTS. Its orange and yellow livery survived until "red Ken" edicts. The company expanded operations under Blazefield ownership, when the Sovereign name replaced BTS. In 2003 Transdev acquired the company from Blazefield. Following upheavals in the operations of Transdev-RATP-Veolia, the Sovereign operation came under RATP ownership along with London United.
