London Buses route 465 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, United Kingdom. The service is currently contracted to Metrobus. It is also partly supported by Surrey County Council.

History

From around the mid-90s, service 465 was operated by London & Country. Tellings-Golden Miller was the next operator to win the contract for the route, and at the time it continued past Kingston to Tellings' Fulwell Bus Garage. In May 2006 the route was curtailed at Kingston and replaced by a new, less frequent route 481, despite a protest by a local group to keep the service.

After the takeover of Tellings, the service was run by Travel London, who mainly used Dennis Dart SLF/Plaxton Pointer 2s on the route. Operation of the route passed from Travel London to Arriva Guildford & West Surrey on June 30, 2007. The contract change also saw the route withdrawn from Penrhyn Road in Kingston, due to complaints from residents over the number of buses using the road. The replacement route is via Surbiton Road and Portsmouth Road.

A few months after Arriva took over the route, one of the buses used on the route was involved in a serious accident. A van crashed into it and continued on into a house. The bus was away for repairs for a number of months. During this time, the company needed an extra bus, so a red liveried Dennis Dart SLF/Plaxton Pointer 2 was transferred on loan from Dartford depot, another part of Arriva Southern Counties. This was eventually returned. However, Arriva realised they were going to need a spare bus even when the accident damaged Enviro200 Dart was fixed, so an older Dennis Dart SLF/Plaxton Pointer 1 was transferred, again from Darford.

Following the acquisition of Arriva's operations in Horsham by Metrobus, route 465 is now operated by Metrobus, from 3 October 2009. The existing buses are used. Template:Bus-sectexpand
