[edit] History
Route U7 replaced the former circular route 207A except that U7 was not ran by Metrobuses and it doesn't follow route 207 or goes via Lansbury Drive to Uxbridge. But instead goes via Hillingdon Hospital.
Route U7 was operated by Wing's, ran from the Hayes garage, using Dennis Dart SLF 10.2m/East Lancs Spryte. Wing's Darts didn't carry any fleet numbers and the Darts carried a yellow livery.
Once TGM was bought by Travel London. U7's Darts were sent all over the place and route U7 had to settle with the buses from other routes at the Hayes garage. First the Darts were painted full red and then sent to the Beddington garage for route 152. Route 152 gained Alexander Dennis Enviro 200 Dart, the Darts where then given to Fulwell temporarily for the Kingtson university shuttle bus (KU)1 and their Dennis Trident 2 9.9m/Alexander ALX400 buses were given to Battersea for route 452, while they were waiting for new Alexander Dennis Enviro 400s.
Now the Darts have returned to route U7.
