[edit] History
Route 195 was introduced in late 1965 to replace the withdrawn sections of route 105 between Hayes North and Hayes Station; it then ran via Lady Margaret Road, Ruislip Road, Greenford and Western Avenue, terminating at Perivale Bideford Avenue where the Hoover Building and Perivale Tesco now is. Route 195 was extended from Hayes North to Charville Lane Estate in 1967.
The route was withdrawn in 1968, being replaced by route 105.
It was re-introduced in 1971 to convert the 105 to one-person operation. Route 195 was diverted via Dormers Well instead of the full length of Lady Margaret Road. It was re-routed to Ealing Hospital in 1984.
Before being operated by Ealing Community Transport, it was operated by London Transport from the old Hanwell garage using single-deck buses. It was converted to double-deck Metrobuses in 1980. The allocation was transferred to Southall's London Buslines in 1986, using their double-deckers with yellow and brown skirt livery. The allocation was transferred back to Centrewest's Hanwell garage in 1991, this time with midibus operation. Hanwell was closed in 1993 and the operation was transferred to Greenford garage (G). Brand new Dennis Dart SLF/Marshall Capitals were bought for routes 195, 282, E7 and the E9.
Ealing Community Transport gained the contract for route 195 in 2003, at the Greenford garage, using brand-new low-floor Dennis Dart SLF 10.2m/Caetano Nimbuses.
Route 195 ran from Ealing Hospital to Brentford County Court via Hanwell and Boston Manor from 19 April 2008 with the peak vehicle requirement increasing to 14.
