Route 312 was the first bus route in London to be operated by electric buses only. This Optare MetroCity was seen at Norwood Junction station in 2014.

Route 312 became the first route in London to be operated exclusively by electric buses, when Arriva London commenced a further contract on 5 September 2015 with Optare MetroCity EVs.[1][2][3][4][5]

On 2 March 2024, the route was extended from South Croydon to Purley via Brighton Road, partially replacing route 455 which was withdrawn on the same day.[6]
