New contract |

BRIXTON - LEWISHAM (Mon-Sat except evgs)
Operation
transferred to London Country under LRT tendering process operating from National
London premises at Catford.
A more frequent service on Saturday required the
loan of extra SNB's from CM on this day although crewed by NL drivers.
This
practise ceased in October when additional SNB's were allocated to NL.

During the Kentish Bus era - the route was rerouted in Dulwich after Court Lane had speed humps installed - so changed from serving Court Lane and Lordship Lane north of The Grove Tavern to Dulwich Common and College Road. However I don't have the exact date of the change.
