Last day of route 533 14/08/2026

On 14 August 2026, route 533 operated for the final time before being withdrawn on 15 August 2026. Although route 533 was originally intended to be a temporary service, it ultimately operated for seven years. Here is the history of route 533 from bus routes wiki. Route 533 was originally a temporary service designed to serve both sides of Hammersmith Bridge during periods when the bridge was closed, allowing passengers to cross the River Thames. It was introduced several times when the bridge was temporarily closed for short periods and was operated by London United. On 18 May 2019, it was announced that Hammersmith Bridge would be closed for the long term, and route 533 was reintroduced to connect both ends of the bridge. The service was intended to operate until the bridge reopened. It was initially operated by Metroline from its Brentford (AH) garage, using existing Alexander Dennis Enviro200 Darts. The route operated via Chiswick Bridge as a shuttle service. On 3 July 2021, the route was revised so that it no longer served Hammersmith Upper Bus Station, running non-stop between Hammersmith Bridge Road and Mortlake Cemetery in both directions. On 15 January 2022, the Alexander Dennis Enviro200 Darts were replaced by existing Alexander Dennis E20Ds with Enviro200 MMC bodywork. On 19 April 2022, due to the closure of Hammersmith Bus Station, the route was revised to terminate near Hammersmith Bridge, with Hammersmith Bridge Road Stop T becoming its final stop. Towards Castelnau, buses departed from Bus Stop B in the Upper Bus Station. On 20 May 2022, the route was restored to Hammersmith Bus Station. On 16 July 2022, the route was changed to serve all bus stops between Hammersmith Bus Station and Mortlake Road. On 15 October 2022, operation of the route passed to London General, running from its Putney (AF) garage and using existing Alexander Dennis E20Ds with Enviro200 MMC bodywork. On 14 June 2025, the allocation was transferred from Putney (AF) to Stockwell (SW) garage. Finally, on 15 August 2026, after seven years of continuous operation, route 533 was withdrawn and replaced by route 209.
