'''London Buses route H37''' is a [[Transport for London]] contracted bus route in [[London]], [[United Kingdom]]. The service is currently contracted to [[Transdev London]]. |
|||
==History== |
|||
Route H37 was introduced in 1991, as a replacement for the western end of the very long route 37, which was divided into three separate routes - 37, 337, and H37. |
|||
The very busy 37 had always been worked by double-deck buses, but a low bridge at the northern end of St. Johns Road [[Isleworth]] caused an awkward deviation via Loring and Linkfield Roads. The H37 has always been single-deck-operated, and can travel the whole length of St Johns Road. |
|||
Initially the route was operated by 28-seat DT class [[Dennis Dart]]s, but these soon proved too small, and certain journeys were operated by larger LX class [[Leyland Lynx]]. |
|||
In time the remaining Darts and Lynxes were replaced by [[Leyland National]]s that had been converted to single-door layout and been refurbished under the [[Urbanbus]] name, a scaled-down version of the [[Greenway]] scheme. |
|||
When the route was offered for tender in 1998, it was awarded to London United (now [[Transdev]]), and the buses were replaced by brand new low-floor [[Dennis Dart]]s, which remain on the route today (2009). |
|||
In 2007 the Hounslow terminal was moved from the Bus Station to the New Blenheim Centre. |
|||
The terminal in Richmond moved from the station to Manor Circus on 27 June 2009 |
|||
On 5 March 2011 the route was retained by London United with new [[Optare_Tempo|Optare Tempos]]. Training has now begun for staff at Hounslow Bus Station for these buses and a blue and silver door version can be seen on site. As of April, delivery of these new buses is slowly arriving. |
