It experienced initial rapid success, gaining and operating some of the first services to be contracted out in the Bexleyheath area of South East London.

However, the company quickly encountered problems, and on 17 February 1992 sold its London operations to Kentish Bus.

In January 1988 Boro'line started its London operations with Bexley-based routes from a Bexley council site in Crayford.

Boro'line's bright blue livery contrasted with the traditional red of London Buses in the centre of the capital.

Ironically some of the London Lynxs later found their way into Maidstone & District colours and then passed into Arriva Southern Counties Kent and Sussex division.
