London Buses route 30 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, England. Running between Hackney Wick and Marble Arch station, it is operated by Tower Transit. ==History== Route 30 commenced operation on 8 May 1911 between King's Cross and Fulham Cross. Some of this routing is still covered today by route 30, as well as by related routes 74 and 430. During the war years the buses used on this route were the earlier batch of pre war AEC Regent III RTs and operated from Hackney Wick to Roehampton. By 1987 the route had been amended to run from Hackney to Earl's Court, taking about 75 minutes to complete the journey, at a frequency of one bus every 14 minutes. Driver-only operation was introduced in January 1987 with double-deckers, and three months later the route was reported to be carrying around 20,000 passengers per day.〔(Views Of A Kaleidoscopic City ) ''New York Times'' 19 April 1987〕 In June 2010, the route was revealed to be the sixth worst performing route in London. As a result of this, new bus priority measures were introduced on the route.〔(London's worst performing bus route - top 10 revealed ) ''London Daily News'' 262〕 On 22 June 2013, route 30 was included in the sale of First London's Lea Interchange garage to Tower Transit.〔(First quits London bus business ) ''Bus & Coach Professional'' 9 April 2013〕〔(Date set for Aussie takeover of London bus routes ) ''Australasian Bus & Coach'' 14 June 2013〕 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 30」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
