London Buses route 498 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, United Kingdom. The service is currently contracted to First Capital.

History

The route began on 26th December 2006 replacing the Monday to Saturday 351 service from Chelmsford to Romford (Route 351 still operates from Brentwood to Chelmsford). The route is one of few London Buses routes that operate out of London. The route first started off using DAF DB250/Alexander ALX400s, but settled with using Wright Cadets. London Buses had plans to extend the route west of Romford through Queens Hospital, Becontree Heath, Heath Park Estate, Reede Road, Dagenham Heathway to Goresbrook but these have been deferred to a later date due to local resistance.

The route was taken over by First Capital with new Alexander Dennis Enviro200 Darts, operating from their Dagenham Depot. The frequency on Sunday will be increased to every 30 mins.
