History

Upon being re-tendered and retained by First London from 5 June 2004, the route was converted to double deck operation with Wright Eclipse Gemini bodied Volvo B7TLs.^[1]

Early enthusiasm for hybrid vehicle technology, in which all or part of the motive power is provided by electricity rather than directly by the engine, saw a number of small batches of experimental vehicles ordered. One of the routes selected for trials was route 328.^[2]

When next re-tendered, the route was retained by First London with a new contract commencing on 30 April 2011.^[3]

On 22 June 2013, route 328 was included in the sale of First London's Atlas Road garage to Tower Transit.^[4]^[5]^[6]
