Route 575 was a bus route which ran between Harlow and Romford.

History[]

The route was introduced on 3 November 2008 by Blue Triangle.[1] The route was withdrawn after 27 August 2021, with then-operator Go-Ahead London citing a decline in usage as a reason for withdrawal.[2][3]

Route[]

The route ran during weekdays, and from 2013 to 2017, also on Saturdays. Up until 2013, the route ran to Lakeside Shopping Centre.[4] The route had sometimes been extended to Southend on Saturdays.[5][6] Prior to withdrawal, only one return journey ran per day between Harlow and Romford.[7][8]
