Route 326 Observations






On Saturday the 25th of July, Route 326 passed from Metroline to London Sovereign. Route 326 began in 1991 running between Brent Cross and New Barnet Station with Monday to Saturday shopping journeys and Sunday journeys extended to Potters Bar garage. In 1993, Sunday journeys between New Barnet Station and Potters Bar were withdrawn. In 1998, the route was withdrawn from Potters Bar and replaced by new route 383 but extended from New Barnet Station to Barnet, The Spires. The route also received low floor single deckers at that time. In 2008,the contract was renewed and the route received Enviro 200's. These lasted on the route until July 2015, when London Sovereign took over using Enviro 200's displaced by Gemini 3's on route 285.These vehicles have been refurbished with a repaint and new seat covers. I rode this route from Barnet to Brent Cross, and it is quite a nice route, going through some nice leafy suburbs and on a dual carriageway approaching Brent Cross. I wish London Sovereign luck running this route. I hope you enjoyed reading this post.
