Today is the last day of the 271 operating as a route. After today the route will no longer be running, or in other words withdrawn.
The last bus in service overall will be hosted by VWH2097 (subject to change), with running number 31, being the last bus in both directions and finishing at Highgate Village at 0045 and arriving back at the garage for the last time as a 271 at 0052.
LK15 CXD stops at its first stop, Finsbury Square at the very southern tips of Islington starting its journey through the borough, briefly running into Hackney then back into Islington and into Camden near the end. The allocation for this route previously involved TEHs but was changed to B5LH Hybrid vehicles in the Summer.
