History [edit]
Route 436 was introduced in on 8 February 2003 to replace the withdrawn section of route 36 between Lewisham & New Cross Gate and then it runs parallel with route 36 to Paddington Station. Route N136 runs the night service. The 436 is operated by London Central at their New Cross Gate garage and was the third route in London (after Red Arrow routes 507 and 521) to gain new bendy buses.[1]
In March 2004 a bus on 436 caught fire on Park Lane; this was the third fire in as many months and the whole Citaro fleet, including the rigid version on route RV1, was subsequently withdrawn, and route 436 was suspended.[2] Extra buses were run on route 36, which parallels part of the 436 route, and some double-deck vehicles were used on the 436 to cover for the missing Citaros.[1] After a short period time modifications were made to the Citaro artics and were re-introduced, services on the 436 resumed a week later.[1]
On 19 November 2011, route 436 was retained by Go-Ahead London and was converted to double deck using Alexander Dennis Enviro400H Hybrids and Alexander Dennis Enviro400s, the PVR was increased to 32 and the frequency was increased.[3]
