H I S T O R Y - ROUTE 38:
The route 38 was introduced on 16 June 1912 as a Monday to Saturday route Victoria and Leyton Green via Angel,Islington,Dalston,Clapton and Lea Bridge Road and between Victoria and Epping Forest (Rising Sun) on Sunday.It was operated from Leyton Garage,which opened on the same day, and to which the 38 was always closely associated until the early 1990s.In 1913, a 38A was introduced,taking over the Sunday service and operating between Victoria and Epping Forest (Warren Wood House) ,this route had run in previous summer as route 54.World War 1 restrictions saw many changes to the 38 and 38A including withdrawal over certain sections for short periods. The most important of these occurred on 15 May 1916 when the 38 and 38A exchange their eastern branches permanently. 38 being withdrawn between Bakers Arms and Woodford(Castle) and re-routed to Walthamstow (Hoe street station)The 38A vice versa.
On 1 December 1924, anew system of route numbering on London Buses came into force under The London Traffic Act of 1924. This made the Metropolitan Police responsible for bus operation and route numbering in London.
THE new system was designed to make route numbering easier to understand for the travelling public. In fact, reverse was the result as can seen by the following list of the routes that replaced the 38,38B buses.
38 group routes,38 remained 38, Victoria to Epping Forest (Wake Arms) via Chingford; 38B renumbered 138,Victoria to Loughton (Crown). This was further complicated in that these routes had short working suffixed journeys.
The 38A,38B,38C,38C 38D,138Bas well as 38E, which was the daily route Victoria Station to Chingford (`Royal Forest Hotel) The plan route number being only used for journeys for the whole length of the route.
As a wartime economy routes 38 and 38A were re-routed between Clapton and Dalston via the direct route via Cricketfield Road (avoiding Hackney) as from 5 May 1943, the previous situation was partially re-instated when on 15 April 1959, as part of Stage two of the Buses for trolleybuses scheme the 38A was re-routed via Hackney station thus replacing the withdrawn trolleybus route 581 completely.From 1946 until 1965,the 38 also had a summer Sunday only extension from Chingford station to Epping Forest (wake arms)via rangers road and Epping new road.
On 1 September 1968, the first section of the Victoria line was opened between Walthamstow Central and Highbury & Islington,six days later on 7 September 1968 a large scale re-organisation of London buses took place. The 38A was withdrawn completely,being replaced by three new routes; Red arrow route 505 between Victoria and Piccadilly Circus,as well as the 48 between Dalston and Whipp cross and the 20 between Leyton and Loughton,Between Dalston and Hackney the 38A was also cut back from Chingford (Royal Forest Hotel) to terminate at Walthamstow Garage,being replaced by the 69 over this section.Just over a year later on 25 October 1969, the 38 was further cut back to terminate at Leyton Green,being replaced on the Walthamstow section by the newly introduced 55. This change was followed by eighteen years in which there were no changes at all to the 38 or its routing .The Sunday service was converted to one-person operations on 6 June 1987.
On 24 February 1990, the 38 was controversially cut back on Monday to Saturday from Leyton Green to terminate at Clapton Pond. It was replaced over this section by the newly introduced 56.The Sunday service through Leyton Green was also withdrawn as from 19 July 1997,severing the link between the 38 and Leyton Garage that had existed since 1912.The combined frequency in 1936 was every 2minutes-whilst as is typical frequency has dropped considerably in the intervening years, an increase ready for the start of congestion charging in July 2002 brought the peak hour frequency at least,almost back up to that level.Also in 2002, the Sunday service was converted back to crew-operation as from 2 June.
The lasted until 29 October 2005,when the route was finally converted to one-person operation with the so-called Bendy Buses Mercedes-Benz Citaro type vehicles. After an absence for four years the route was converted back to double decks using 68 Volvo DB300 Wright Gemini with arriva.
Now it uses the Routemasters from arriva.
