'''London Buses route 46''' is a [[Transport for London]] contracted bus route in London, United Kingdom. The service is currently contracted to [[Metroline]]. |
|||
==History== |
|||
The 46 started when lewis devlin excreted on the route on the way to his freinds birthday, consiquently he's on the dol now and lost his girlfreind. |
|||
The current route 46 started on 8 January 1972 between Hampstead Heath and Farringdon Street as a crew operated route created from the withdrawn section of [[London Buses route 45|route 45]] (between Kings Cross and Hampstead). The route ran Monday to Saturday from Chalk Farm Bus Garage. Only a few months later on 17 June 1972, the route was converted from crewed [[Routemaster]]s to one person operation using [[Daimler Fleetline|DMSs]], and a Sunday service was also added. |
|||
On 4 September 1982, the route was extended from Hampstead to Swiss Cottage (and further to Kensal Rise Monday to Saturday). It was also withdrawn between Kings Cross and Farringdon Street, apart from Monday to Friday peaks journeys. |
|||
[[MCW Metrobus|Metrobuses]] replaced the DMSs in 1984, and on the 27 October it was withdrawn between Kensal Rise and Warwick Avenue, outside of the peak. [[Leyland Titan (B15)|Titans]] replaced the short lived Metrobuses in 1986, and on 25 October route 46's Sunday service was withdrawn. The Titans were replaced by single decker buses during November 1991, and was extended at all times to run to Kensal Rise. |
|||
Chalk Farm Bus Garage closed in 1993, and the allocation was transferred to [[Metroline#Holloway|Holloway Garage]] during March of that year. On 4 December 1993 the Sunday service was restored. |
|||
The allocation moved to North Acton, due to overcrowding at Holloway during April 1996, and then back to Holloway for a brief period between March and May 1998 in a swap with [[London Buses route 139|route 139]], before returning to North Acton. |
|||
On 29 April 2000, route 46 was withdrawn at all times between Kensal Rise and Warwick Avenue, with buses running empty to stand on Harrow Road Bridge. Later that year, on the closure of North Acton Garage in September, the route transferred to Harlesden Garage (renamed Park Royal Garage in 2003, now owned by [[NCP-Challenger#Park Royal|NCP Challenger]]). |
|||
In April 2005, Park Royal garage closed and the allocation moved once more, this time to King's Cross Garage. After many months of proposed dates, and much deferring, the route was finally extended to Lancaster Gate Station on 27 January 2007. |
|||
The route is now a rather winding and indirect route to Kings Cross, but providing many links for the residents of Hampstead. Anyone wishing to travel the entire distance would use the more direct [[London Buses route 390|route 390]] taking a third of the time compared to route 46. |
