[edit] History
This route dates back to the beginning of the twentieth centaury when it ran between Peckham and Hounslow. By 1981, serious disruptions to the service caused by ever increasing congestion and other operating difficulties resulted in the splitting of the route into two overlapping sections. Peckham to Putney or Richmond and Clapham to Hounslow. In 1991 the route was withdrawn west of Putney. New route 337 covered the section from Clapham Junction to Richmond and the new midibus route H37 covered Richmond to Hounslow.
[edit] Current route
On 12 August 2006, it was announced that the route would be extended to Putney Heath. A provisional date has been set for 21 April 2007.
