Starting from 5 August 1988, Wandsworth Health Authority sponsored two new local routes, criss-crossing the borough and serving as many hospitals as possible. Both served many streets not previously covered by the bus network.
In 1990, the G1 started from Tooting Broadway and ran via St. George's Hospital, Aboyne Road, Burntwood Lane (for Springfield Hospital), Wandsworth Common (for St. James's Hospital), Bolingbroke Grove, Bolingbroke Hospital, Clapham Junction (Northcote) and Bettersea Rise (for St. John's Health Care Unit and St. John's Hospital). Meanwhile the G2 was to start from Furzedown (for Tooting Bec Hospital) during shopping hours, otherwise from Tooting Broadway via St. George's Hospital, Aboyne Road, Springfield Hospital (into the grounds in this case), Tilehurst Road, Heathfield Road, Allfarthing Lane to Wandsworth (Arndale Centre).

The route still runs today, with some route changes. The route now starts from Streatham, Green Lane to Battersea, Shaftesbury Estate via Church Lane, Tooting Broadway Station, Tooting St George's Hospital Medical School / Main Entrance, Aboyne Road, Springfield Hospital, Wandsworth Common Station, Clapham South Station, Clapham Junction and Battersea Shaftesbury Estate.

In 2005 Route G1 was described last September as being 'problematic', as complaints were made about staff attitude, service reliability and punctuality. [3]
