History
Route 267 began on 9 May 1962 between Hammersmith The Grove and Hampton Court in the trolleybus replacement program for trolleybus route 667.
It was withdrawn between Fulwell and Hampton Court and replaced by new route R68 in 1991 with extensions to Hampton Church for school journeys and to Hampton Court Palace from 9 May 1992 for summer Sundays. The school service stopped in 1998.
The route runs daily from Hammersmith Bus Station to Fulwell Bus Garage with the summer Sunday extension to Hampton Court Palace.
Route 267 has been stationed at Fulwell garage with mainly MCW Metrobuses, and also Alexander Royale-bodied Volvo Olympians, Northern Counties Palatine-bodied Olympians and even single deck Darts. The route was converted to low floor operation in 2002 with Alexander-bodied Tridents and gained Wright Eclipse Gemini-bodied Volvo B7TLs. In 2005, brand new Scania OmniDekkas were introduced.
In March 2008, the frequency was increased and brand new Scania OmniCitys were introduced.
On 7 October 2012, Seasonal Sunday extension to Hampton Court finishes, and withdrawn permanently.
