London Buses route K3 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, United Kingdom. The service is currently contracted to Transdev London.

History

Route K3 is part of the K-prefix network of services run around Kingston upon Thames, introduced in 1987. [ [http://www.londonbusroutes.net/photos/K04.htm London Bus Routes - Route K4] Accessed September 2 2008.]

Since its introduction, route K3 has been operated by companies related to London United. At first Westlink, who they purchased, then by London United themselves. It is now run by its direct successor, Transdev London. Westlink used a variety of minibuses, predominately MCW Metroriders. When London United took over, the service was run by Plaxton Pointer 1 bodied Dennis Darts. Low floor vehicles were introduced following the new contract in 2001, with a batch of Dennis Dart SLF/Plaxton Pointer 2s introduced to the service. [ [http://londonbusesbyadam.fotopic.net/c991263.html London Bus Routes Fotopic - Route K3] Accessed September 2 2008.]

The route has remained much in its current format between Esher and Roehampton Vale since its introduction. In 1993 however, saw some routes switch between Surbiton and Kingston, K3 swapping its route with the more direct K4. Another route change was from November 1997, when the Sunday service was extended much further into Surrey, running every two hours from Esher via Hersham and Weybridge to Byfleet. This extension lasted a couple of years until its withdrawal. [Surrey County Council - Woking Bus and Train Guide. November 1 1997 edition.]
