The 208^A was introduced on 30 April 1941 as the first service to run along Carpenters Road.  Hosted by Dalston garage, it was initially operated by six-wheel single-deckers of the LT class, which were temporarily displaced by the side-engined Q class between 1942 and 1946, then finally replaced by new RF class buses in October 1952.

 

The route last ran on 13 May 1959, when it was replaced by route 178 using low-height RLH buses.
