[edit] History

Route 207 was introduced on 9 November 1960 as part of the Trolleybus replacement program stage 8, replacing trolleybus route 607 between Uxbridge and Shepherd's Bush Green, using Routemasters. The route was converted to one person operation in 1987, after an earlier period (from 1976) using doored (DM) vehicles with crew operation.

Route 207 originates from London United Tramways route 7 which ran over much of the 207 between Uxbridge to Shepherd’s Bush. In 1936 this route 7 was replaced by a trolleybus route 607 which ran until 1960 when it was replaced by a motorbus route 207. An express bus route 607 began in 1990.

Low floor buses replaced the Metrobuses in 2001, along with six articulated buses which were on trial on the route for six months, running between Hayes By Pass and Shepherd's Bush Green, from Greenford Garage. The trial was a success and three years later, on 9 April 2005, the route was split into two sections; Shepherd's Bush Green to Hayes-by-pass section retaining the number 207 and converted to single deck bendy bus operation. The section between Uxbridge and Acton was renumbered 427 using double deck Tridents. A new base opened at Hayes for the 207, Uxbridge and Acton allocation withdrawn.
