LCB Travel started stage carriage bus operation on 1st September 2009, taking over the ECC contract for the Monday to Friday Bus Station to Milwards ZIP service. The ZIP service had suffered some reductions during it's time under Arriva, but one was reversed when LCB introduced a commercial Saturday morning service from 1st August 2010.
The next development in August 2011 was more significant with the introduction of a second and this time fully commercial service. Route LCB1 started and provides an hourly off-peak link between some of Harlow's southern areas and the Old Harlow, Queensgate and Templefields to the north via the bus station. Shortly after introduction of the service, a full sized bus was obtained in the form of a Mini Pointer Dart.
The next route development followed quickly, with the LCB2 commencing on 19th September 2011, initially linking Church Langley with the bus station serving some other localities along the way, it has recently altered to focus more on Maddox Road and Bush Fair. The Optare Alero is now the regular on the route.
