London Buses route 440 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, UK. The service is currently contracted to NCP-Challenger.

History

Route 440 was introduced on 27 May 2002 to replace the former route H40, between Park Royal "Asda" & Turnham Green, and then continued from Turnham Green to Stamford Brook "Bus Garage". The 440 was extended from Park Royal "Asda" to Stonebridge Park Station on 1 March 2003.

A new route 272 was also introduced the replace the section of route H40 between Turnham Green and Chiswick "Grove Park".

Both 272 and 440 were transferred from London United to NCP-Challenger at their new Park Royal garage on 26 May 2007. Route 440 was also withdrawn between Turnham Green and Stamford Brook Bus Garage on this date, due to the bus garage being owned by the previous operators.

The planned extension to Gunnersbury Roundabout via Wellesley Road from 30th August 2008 has now been deferred.
