==History==
By the beginning of 1970, the opening of the Victoria line, left its mark on route 39. The route was cut back to Oxford Circus in January 1971, and in July 1972 was converted to one person operation.{{cn|date=November 2015}}

The service north of Victoria has now been abandoned without replacement, but, at the other end, has been extended to service more of [[Southfields]] and continue into [[Putney]]. The route has also been split in two at [[Clapham Junction]], with the service between Clapham Junction and Victoria becoming route 239. Both were converted on 12 May 1990 to midibus operation, in the form of [[Walter Alexander Coachbuilders|Alexander]] bodied [[Mercedes-Benz buses|Mercedes-Benz]] 811Ds. In October 1994 [[Dennis Dart]]s cascaded from [[London Buses route 156|route 156]] were introduced, followed by larger Darts from routes [[London Buses route 211|211]] and [[London Buses route 295|295]].{{cn|date=November 2015}}

After being re-tendered, on 14 September 2002 [[London General]] introduced new [[Plaxton Pointer]] bodied Darts. In January 2007, route 39 was transferred to London General's new [[London General#Waterside Way (PL)|Waterside Way garage]]. London General commenced a new contract in November 2009.{{cn|date=November 2015}}
