[edit] History
Route 133 commenced operation on 27 March 1929 as part of a scheme of changes to the 58/59/159 group of routes.
Monday - Saturday Route 34 (Liverpool Street - South Croydon) was diverted away from London Road and North End to run via Melfort Road, Thornton Heath and Whitehorse Road, replacing Route 58 over that section. At the same time, it was re-numbered 133.
On 3 October 1934, the newly constituted London Passenger Transport Board instituted its own numbering system. Route 134 was re-numbered 133A, supplementing the 133, running between Liverpool Street and Addiscombe. This route was withdrawn after service on 5 January 1938, the section to Addiscombe being covered by the re-routed 59A.
In 1958 the 133 was introduced on Sundays to replace the withdrawn sections of routes 143 and 43.
In 1971 the route between Streatham and Croydon was withdrawn and replaced by the revised route 50.
Extended from Streatham to Tooting Broadway in 1985. The section was withdrawn and replaced by new route 333 in 2003.
Route 133 and night bus N133 was moved from London General's Stockwell (SW) garage to their new Mandela Way (MW) garage in 2007 to make room for route 24.
The 133 has also been stationed at Brixton (BN), Streatham (AK) and Croydon (TC).
Night bus N133 runs the night service for routes 133 and 333.
