In 1988, Gold Arrow routes 28 and 31 were introduced,[1] operated by CentreWest.[2] On 4 March 1989, route 28 was converted to minibus operation with AEC Routemasters replaced by 28-seat Alexander bodied Mercedes-Benz midibuses leading to severe overcrowding and poor reliability.[3]

In June 2013, route 28 was included in the sale of First London's Atlas Road garage to Tower Transit.[4][5]

On 1 May 2021, route 28 was passed on to London United from Wandsworth and Stamford Brook garages.

On 29 January 2022, route 28 was transferred to Westbourne Park garage.

On 24 July 2023, the route was temporarily withdrawn between Wandsworth Bridge and Southside Wandsworth until 2 October 2023 due to the closure of Wandsworth Bridge.[6]
