Between 1993 and 1997, Volvos were used to run the route. For some time, the route was the only one to use the buses.
London General has successfully retained route 88 with new contracts starting on 13 December 2003 and 11 December 2010.
New Routemasters were introduced on 22 August 2015. The rear platform remains closed at all times except for when the bus is at bus stops.
