London Buses route 10 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, England. It runs between Hammersmith bus station and King's Cross, and is operated by London United. ==History== Route 10 commenced on 13 August 1988 to replace route 73 between Hammersmith and Hyde Park Corner following the latter being diverted to Victoria. The initial route was between Hammersmith and King's Cross, and was run by the London United division. In April 1989, an allocation was introduced from the London Northern garage at Holloway. Route 10 was extended to the back of Holloway garage via York Way and Brecknock Road. Initially this section did not run during early mornings, late evenings or Sundays, but a Sunday service was later added. Some journeys were then extended to Archway rather than terminating in Tufnell Park. These were then withdrawn, but were reinstated following the withdrawal of local route C12 in 1998.〔(Route 10 ) ''londonbusroutes.net''〕 As part of a restructure of services in the lead up to the introduction of the congestion charging, on 1 February 2003 route 10 was split in two: the route between Archway and Kings Cross, and as far as Marble Arch, was taken over by new route 390, and route 10 shortened to serve only its original route between Hammersmith and King's Cross. Route 390 continued to be operated by Metroline with the AEC Routemasters which had operated route 10, while the new route 10 was operated by First London with Alexander ALX400 bodied Volvo B7TLs.〔〔(Routes 10 and 390 ) London Bus Page 1 February 2004〕 Route 10 was converted to 24-hour operation on 30 January 2010, replacing night bus route N10, with a night service every 30 minutes. The section between Hammersmith and Richmond that route N10 previously served was taken over by route 33 when it was converted to 24-hour operation. Transdev London was awarded the contract for route 10 starting on 30 January 2010.〔(2010 Bus Tender Result ) Transport For London〕 New Routemasters were introduced on 26 April 2014. The rear platform remains open from Monday to Friday between 06:00 and 19:30 when it is staffed by a customer assistant.〔(Press Release ) Transport For London〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「London Buses route 10」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
