between Lewisham & New Cross Gate and then it runs parallel with route 36 to Paddington Station. Route N136 runs the night service. The 436 is operated by London Central at their New Cross Gate garage and was the third route in London (after Red Arrow routes 507

In March 2004 a bus on 436 caught fire on Park Lane; this was the third fire in as many months and the whole Citaro fleet, including the rigid version on route RV1
, was subsequently withdrawn, and route 436 was suspended. Extra buses were run on route 36

On 19 November 2011, route 436 was retained by Go-Ahead London and was converted back to double deck using Alexander Dennis Enviro400H hybrids and Alexander Dennis Enviro400s, the PVR was increased to 32 and the frequency was increased.
