London Buses route 75 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, United Kingdom. The service is currently contracted to Selkent. The service is on a busy bus corridor as it is the only form of public transport to link together Lewisham and Croydon. Recently the 75 has been put under threat from the Croydon Tramlink which has plans to extend to Catford and Lewisham.

[edit] History
The 75 is a fairly new bus route dating back to only 1995. At that time it was somewhat of a quiet route as the bus route 54 which was already running for quite a long time, had been the major link for people traveling between Lewisham and Croydon. But in 2000 the 54 route was shortened to Elmers End (due to the new Croydon Tramlink) and now the 75 had become quite a busy route. Route 75 used to be contracted to Stagecoach in London until they sold all of their London Bus Routes to Macquaire Bank.
