[edit] HistoryOn 1 November 1908, the bus route number 8 was allocated to a previously un-numbered route operating between Shepherds Bush and Ilford. On 20 June 1912, Routes 8 and 25 exchanged eastern ends at Bank, so that from then on the 8 operated between Willesden and Old Ford. This situation continued, apart from various westward extensions of the route to Wembley and Alperton, until July 1993. At that time the 8 again was re-routed over the 25, but this time to Victoria, becoming a daily Victoria - Old Ford - Bow route. In as much, the same routing as the 1912 version of route 25. The western end of the route becoming 98. From June 2009 The Route 8 will change yet again. This time being the removal of the Oxford Circus to Victoria Section of the Route. This means the route will no longer serve Hyde Park Corner or Green Park. This is due to increase frequency of buses in Bethnal Green Area. The bus C2 will be taking over the withdrawn part.
