London Buses route 111


London Buses route 111 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, England, running between Heathrow Central bus station and Kingston. It is operated by London United.

History

Route 111 was converted to driver-only single-deck operation with AEC Swifts on 23 August 1969. It initially operated only between Cranford or Hounslow Garage and Hanworth. At the same time a self-service system was introduced on routes 110 and 111, with passengers buying tickets from a machine.
From 1 December 2007, route 111 was converted into a 24-hour service; before its introduction a number of residents in Hampton complained to the local newspaper and TfL, who named the alternative of more route 481 buses bypassing Hampton to the north-east. Supporters of the extension in hours of operation included the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames.
Weekday peak hours service increased to every 8–9 minutes in 2010.
