London Buses route 465 is a joint Transport for London and Surrey County Council contracted bus route in London and Surrey, England. Running between Kingston and Dorking, it is operated by Quality Line. ==History== From around the mid-1990s, service 465 was operated by London & Country. Upon being re-tendered, it passed to Tellings-Golden Miller on 1 May 1999 and was extended past Kingston to Tellings' Fulwell Bus Garage. On 17 June 2005, route 465 was included in the sale of Tellings-Golden Miller to Travel London.〔(Preliminary Results Year Ended 31 December 2005 ) Tellings-Golden Miller 5 April 2006〕 In May 2006 the route was curtailed at Kingston and replaced by a new, less frequent route 481, despite a protest by a local group to keep the service.〔(465 protesters ignored as bus route scrapped ) ''Richmond & Twickenham Times'' 5 May 2006〕 Upon being re-tendered, on 30 June 2007 the route passed to Arriva Guildford & West Surrey. The contract change also saw the route withdrawn from Penrhyn Road in Kingston, due to complaints from residents over the number of buses using the road. The replacement route is via Surbiton Road and Portsmouth Road.〔(Bus service changes June 2007 ) Surrey County Council〕 On 3 October 2009, route 465 was included in the sale of Arriva Guildford & West Surrey's Horsham operation to Metrobus.〔(Go-Ahead to acquire Arriva's Horsham bus ) ''Bus & Coach Professional'' 3 September 2009〕 It was the only Transport for London contract to be worked out of the company's Crawley garage.
