'''London Buses route 226''' is a [[Transport for London]] contracted bus route in [[London]], [[United Kingdom]]. The service is currently contracted to [[First Centrewest]]. |
|||
==History== |
|||
When the 226 began in the early 1950s it was very different from the way it is today. It was a very short route, running from [[Golders Green]] to [[Cricklewood]] ''Ash Grove'' pretty much via its present route.<ref name=busesatwork>[http://www.londonbuses.co.uk/routes/226-1.html Route 226] ''busesatwork.co.uk''</ref> |
|||
in 1953, it was extended to [[Willesden Junction]] and [[Park Royal Stadium]] (Monday - Saturdays peak hours), via [[Willesden]] and [[Harlesden]]. The Willesden Junction & Harlesden ''Jubilee Clock'' section was discontinued in 1971.<ref name=busesatwork /> |
|||
The Route was extended to [[Burnt Oak]] in 1984 via [[Alperton]], [[Wembley]], [[North Wembley]], [[Preston Manor]], [[Kingsbury]], [[Colindale]] and [[Grahame Park]].<ref name=busesatwork /> |
|||
The Burnt Oak and Park Royal section was withdrawn in 1990,and replaced by new routes [[London Buses route 224|224]] (between Park Royal & North Wembley) and [[London Buses route 204|204]] (between Wembley and Burnt Oak).<ref name=busesatwork /> |
|||
It extended again in 1992, to Alperton (Sunday evenings) and Wembley ''Brent Town Hall'' (Sundays except evenings). This was extension was withdrawn in 1995.<ref name=busesatwork /> |
|||
In 2001, Dennis Dart SLF 10.2m / [[Marshall Capital]]s were introduced to convert it low floor.<ref name=busesatwork /> |
|||
In 2004, the route was extended in the Park Royal area from Asda to First Central Business Park and the allocation was transferred to Willesden Junction.<ref name=busesatwork /> |
|||
In March 2007, route 226 was extended from Park Royal to [[Ealing Broadway]] via the withdrawn PR1.<ref name=busesatwork /> |
|||
In 2008, First Centrewest retained the contract of route 226 and [[Alexander Dennis Enviro200 Dart]]s were introduced. <ref name=busesatwork /> |
|||
In 2012, First Centrewest ordered a new Wright StreetLite demonstrator to be trialled on route 226. This bus is currently in Service. |
