London Buses route 312 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, England. Running between Norwood Junction station and Purley, it is operated by Arriva London.


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2024, the route was extended from South Croydon to Purley via Brighton Road, partially replacing route 455 which was withdrawn on the same day.[6]
