History

Upon being re-tendered and retained by First London from 5 June 2004, the route was converted to double deck operation with Wright Eclipse Gemini bodied Volvo B7TLs.

Early enthusiasm for hybrid vehicle technology, in which all or part of the motive power is provided by electricity rather than directly by the engine, saw a number of small batches of experimental vehicles ordered. One of the routes selected for trials was route 328.

When next re-tendered, the route was retained by First London with a new contract commencing on 30 April 2011.

On 22 June 2013, route 328 was included in the sale of First London's Atlas Road garage to Tower Transit.
