Buses started being introduced in 1929, when six routes were put into operation. Twelve vehicles (6 <a href="/wiki/Leyland_Tiger_(front-engined)" title="Leyland Tiger (front-engined)">Leyland Tigers</a> and 6 <a href="/wiki/Leyland_Titan_(front_engined_double-decker)" class="mw-redirect" title="Leyland Titan (front engined double-decker)">Leyland Titans</a>) were put into service on these routes. Trams and buses operated together for the next 20 years. </p><p>The first tramway route was abandoned in favour of buses in 1935, although further plans to put more tramway routes out of action were put on hold due to the interruption of <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, during which time, tramway maintenance deteriorated markedly. The tram system closed in September 1949. </p><p>Blackburn Corporation purchased 83 new buses to replace the defunct trams, and, as a result, it was a further seven years before any more new buses were required. From 1974, due to a re organisation within the local government, the company became known as Borough of Blackburn Transport. </p><p>The livery changed from being predominantly green to green at the bottom, then white and also a red roof, recalling the predominant colour of neighbouring Darwen Transport, which Blackburn had absorbed. As a result, they were given the nickname of '<a href="/wiki/Italian_flag" class="mw-redirect" title="Italian flag">Italian flag</a>'. Twelve <a href="/wiki/Leyland_Atlantean" title="Leyland Atlantean">Leyland Atlanteans</a> were the first vehicles to receive this new livery, a model of bus that would become a predominant feature of the fleet. </p><p>In 1983, the livery changed again. The 'traditional all green livery' style was brought back. </p><p>To comply with the <a href="/wiki/Transport_Act_1985" title="Transport Act 1985">Transport Act 1985</a>, the Borough of Blackburn's bus operations were transferred to a separate company.<sup id="cite_ref-company2003022_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-company2003022-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The livery underwent yet another change, with the predominantly green scheme being split by white stripes around the windows. Also in this year, the company began operating holiday trips under the Blackburn Coachlines brand. </p><p>In 1990, an all cream coloured, with dark green bands livery was introduced. At this time, the fleet was beginning to show its age, with the major part of the company's vehicles still being made up of <a href="/wiki/Leyland_Atlantean" title="Leyland Atlantean">Leyland Atlanteans</a>, although some of the older buses had been replaced by 26 new <a href="/wiki/MCW_Metrorider" title="MCW Metrorider">MCW Metroriders</a> in the end of the 1980s. </p><p>Second hand buses and some new models were bought consistently from 1999, although intake slowed again after 2005, due to falling profits. </p><p>In 2002, the <i>MetroNetwork</i> was introduced. This offered passengers a simpler view of the services network, known as 'tracks', and the fare structure was also amended, with the introduction of many fare-saving schemes. Some buses were given overall advertising to promote these features. </p><p>In 2003, the Blackburn Coachlines operation ceased. Also, the new <i>Schools +</i> services were introduced. These buses, mainly <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Coach_Works" title="Eastern Coach Works">Eastern Coach Works</a> bodied <a href="/wiki/Leyland_Olympian" title="Leyland Olympian">Leyland Olympians</a> were given a predominantly yellow livery, but with green relief. They were in full operation by August 2004. </p><p>The first introduction of route branded vehicles came in 2006, with the renaming of the old outer circle service the 'OC'. Two double decker buses were given a new orange, purple and yellow livery, and in a similar fashion to what <a href="/wiki/Blackburn_Bus_Company" title="Blackburn Bus Company">Lancashire United</a> have done, created a new, separate website for the service. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Takeover">Takeover</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span
