London Buses route T31 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, United Kingdom. The service is currently contracted to Arriva London.
The service is a Tramlink feeder route, connecting at Addington Village Interchange tram stop and bus station. TfL liked the idea of having feeder routes for the tram, as at the time it was in the direction the Mayor of London was thinking in, more London buses. Along with more buses there was an aim for better frequency (especially in South East London where the average frequency is just around 12 minutes). So this new trend of feeder buses started with this route T31 followed by routes T32 and T33.

[edit] History
As already said the route is a tramlink feeder, and started operations in late 2000 after the tramlink started itself. The bus has never changed its route in its short lifetime.
The T31 being only 2 miles long was a cheap investment for First London (because of the amount of buses needed being less than 10), who were also awarded the T32. The frequency for this bus route (every 7 minutes) was a surprise as it was one of the best in South East London.
First London has recently lost the contract of the feeder route to Arriva London, who began operations in May 2007.
