London Buses route 468

London Buses route 468 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, United Kingdom. The service is currently contracted to Go-Ahead London.

History
The 468 is a long route, operating between Elephant & Castle and South Croydon. It parallels route 68 for much of its length. The 68 was split on 12 March 1994, with the southern section becoming route 68A; the systematic elimination of suffix letters saw this changed to 468 when a new contract started in 27 April 1999. The route was initially operated by Arriva London.

The 468 was put out to tender after seven years along with routes 68, N68 and X68. London Central won all four routes with a peak requirement of over 50 buses. A a large batch of new Wright Eclipse Gemini bodied Volvo B7TLs was obtained to run the route.

7th September 2008 crash
