London Buses route K5 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London , England. Running between Morden station and Ham , it is operated by RATP Dev Transit London .[1]
History [ edit ]
The K5 has undergone a thorough and frequent rerouting throughout its history. The route was launched in December 1989 as a one-way loop from Kingston upon Thames to New Malden . It was a Hoppa service.[2] In June 1990 the route was rerouted to serve Kingston Hospital and extended to serve New Malden police station . A month later, the route was extended from New Malden Police Station to New Malden railway station via New Malden High Street . In May 1993, the route was rerouted again after operation was passed to London & Country . In July 1998, the route was passed to Arriva Croydon & North Surrey and consequently extended to North Cheam via Motspur Park railway station , Malden Manor railway station , Worcester Park railway station and Worcester Park High Street, however in July 1999 Tellings-Golden Miller won the route's contract and in November 2000 rerouted it from South Lane to Raynes Park railway station and was extended from Kingston to Ham . In June 2001, Mitcham Belle took over the route with it extended to Morden tube station . The route has not been altered since then, however in August 2004 Centra took over Mitcham Belle's bus operations.[3]
In February 2006 the route was taken over by Transdev London .[4]
The K5 contract was originally going to be discontinued in June 2006. However, after public consultation and pressure from travellers' groups, TfL agreed to keep it running, citing a 'clear public need'.[5] However, the bus route was omitted from a TfL map shortly after it was saved, raising the ire of North Kingston residents.[6] When next tendered it was awarded to Quality Line from August 2011.[7] [8]
In 2009, a consultation was initiated regarding the usefulness of the route.[9] Motspur Park residents responded en masse, and in 2011 launched a petition to improve the service of the route.[10] On 2 July 2016, the frequency of the route was doubled from hourly to half-hourly.
When next tendered Quality Line retained the route with a new contract that commenced on 3 September 2016.[11]
