London Buses route 153 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, England. Running between Finsbury Park and Liverpool Street bus stations, it is operated by Go-Ahead London.

From 5 December 2020, the route was extended from Finsbury SquaretoLiverpool Street station.[2]

In February 2018, the route finally became entirely operated by electric buses following the deployment of 11 Alexander Dennis Enviro200EV bodied single-decker buses from BYD. Around this time, the route also transferred from HCT GrouptoGo-Ahead London.[3][4]

[edit]

The route is operated from Go-Ahead London's Waterloo bus garage, which has had charging points fitted to accommodate the electric buses.[6][7] It operates with a frequency of 5 buses per hour during the day and 3 buses per hour during the evening.[2]
