History

A Leyland Olympian double-decker operated by Arriva London on route 176 in Dulwich, July 2000
A Volvo B7TL double-decker operated by Arriva London on route 176 in Forest Hill, May 2008

Upon being re-tendered, the route was retained by Arriva London with a new contract commencing on 14 November 2003. [2]

On 3 January 2009 the route was withdrawn between Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Circus to allow Andrew Borde Street to be closed and used as a work site for the upgrade of Tottenham Court Road station and the construction of the Crossrail station. [3] In January 2010, Transport for London claimed this shortening of route 176 as part of its implementation of the Mayor's request to reduce the bus flow in Oxford Street by 10% in each of 2009 and 2010. [4]
