This is a London Transport enamel bus stop 'e' plate for Route '77 Mon-Fri'.

The plate is approximately 130mm wide x 125mm deep and weights around 250g.

Route 77 ran daily between King’s Cross Station and Wallington via Euston, Russell Square, Aldwych, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Lambeth Bridge, Vauxhall, Wandsworth Road, Clapham Junction, Earlsfield, Tooting Broadway, Mitcham, Hackbridge and Carshalton. The route ran in two sections - Kings’s Cross to Tooting (Mitre) and Tooting Broadway to Wallington. In 1953 the Sunday service was diverted via Vauxhall Bridge and renumbered 77B. In 1957 the 77 was withdrawn between Euston and King’s Cross. In 1960 it was withdrawn between Aldwych and Euston on Saturday afternoons. In 1965 the Saturday service was diverted via Vauxhall Bridge and renumbered 77B. In 1973 the 77 was reintroduced on Saturdays between Aldwych and Tooting, and also reintroduced on Sundays between King’s Cross and Tooting to replace the 77B which was withdrawn. In 1981 the 77 was withdrawn between Aldwych and Euston, and diverted instead during Monday to Friday peak hours to Farringdon Street. It was also withdrawn between Tooting and Wallington, and extended on Mondays to Fridays from Tooting to Streatham Garage via Southcroft Road. On Sundays it was withdrawn between Trafalgar Square and King’s Cross. In 1984 the Streatham terminus was changed to St. Leonard’s Church. In 1985 it was again diverted during Monday to Friday peak hours at Aldwych to King’s Cross instead of Farringdon Street. In 1986 it was converted to one-man operation and revised to run from Euston on Mondays to Fridays, Russell Square on Sundays and Aldwych on Saturdays to Tooting, extended on Mondays to Fridays to Streatham, but the following year the extension to Streatham was cut back and the route terminated at Tooting Station on Mondays to Fridays. In 1991 the route was standardised to run between Waterloo and Tooting Station via Albert Embankment, Vauxhall, Clapham Junction, Earlsfield and Tooting Broadway.

The 'e' plate is in very good condition with just minor edge wear (see photo).
