London Buses route 60

Route 60 was introduced on September 1982 as a replacement of service 118 and 130.

In 1998, the route was extended south to Old Coulsdon, replacing route 50 and curtailed northbound to Streatham. Capital Logistics was due to start London Buses route 60 in September 1998, however the new low-floor buses were not ready at that time, which is Optare Spectras. An emergency 15-minute frequency was operated by Blue Triangle, and was supposed to be operated by Omnibus London, but two days before this could take place the company announced that it would not be able to cover most of its journeys.

Other companies that operate on their route do include - Blue Triangle, Omnibus London, Stagecoach Selkent, Stagecoach East London, Capital Citybus, Nostalgiabus, Classic Coaches and Sidney Road Travel.

This continued until 11 March 1999, when Capital Logistics was able to take the route over in full using DAF DB250LFs. Buses were operated from a new base in Commerce Way and the route's frequency restored to every 12 minutes. Route 60 was included in the sale of Capital Logistics to the Status Group, (owner of Tellings-Golden Miller), on 1 June 1999. The new owner was unhappy with the terms of the contract on the route, and withdrew from it in early 2000. The route passed back to Arriva London on 4 March 2000 on an interim basis.
