Transport for London contracted bus route inLondon ,United Kingdom . The service is currently contracted to Metrobus. It is aTramlink feeder service and unlike the other two (T31 and the T32), it is never operated byFirst London .The service is a Tramlink feeder route, connecting at Addington Village "Interchange" tram stop and bus station. Tfl liked the idea of having feeder routes for the tram, as at the time it was in the direction the Mayor of London was looking at, more London buses. So this new trend of feeder buses started with Route T31 followed by the T32 and the T33. The T33 being only 3 miles long was a cheap investment for whoever would get awarded the bus route (because of the needed amount of buses being just over 5), who turned out to be Metrobus.
History
