History[]
The E routes were created on a new flat fare system in London, all of the E routes served Ealing except E5 and E6 do not serve Ealing at all.
Route E10 commenced operation on 24 May 1997 between Ealing Common Warwick Dene and Smiths Farm via Ealing Broadway - Uxbridge Road - West Ealing - Argyle Road - Drayton Bridge Road - Copley Close - Elthorne Heights - Greenford Avenue - Ruislip Road East - Greenford - Ruislip Road - Kensington Road - Hotspur Road - Horse Shoe Crescent as a Monday to Saturday service. The route was introduced to replace the Smiths Farm section of route E9 and replaces the Ealing section of the former route E4. The route was initially operated by CentreWest from their Greenford (G) garage using Alexander bodied Mercedes-Benz 811Ds.
