History

edit

The route was created as a "Tram feeder" service with the opening of Tramlink in 2000. It was numbered T33.[1] In 2015, the route was renumbered 433 as part of wider changes that also saw the withdrawal of routes T31 and T32.[2]

In July 2018, service frequencies at all times were reduced.[3] On 2 November 2019, the route was changed to terminate at Park Street instead of West Croydon bus station.[4]

In 2021, Abellio announced it intended to introduce Caetano e.City Gold buses on the route.[5]
