History

Route 183 commenced operating on 3 October 1934, running from Northwood Garage to Golders Green station via Pinner, North Harrow, Kenton, Kingsbury and Hendon,[ citation needed ] operating from Hendon garage, using Leyland Titan STDs which were in turn replaced in 1953 by the AEC Regent III RTs. This route was still much the same in 1952. [1] LT-type buses allocated to Harrow Weald garage were used on route 183 between Golders Green and Pinner. [2] In April 1937, STD-type buses first went into service on route 183. [2]

Upon being re-tendered, the route passed to London Sovereign with a new contract commencing in September 1999, with single deck Plaxton Pointer bodied Dennis Dart SLFs. [3]

In 2008, the route was the subject to persistent theft. Gangs of pickpockets targeted old people, slashing their bags and stealing their money, keys and other possessions. [4]

In 2009 the route was again re-tendered and was retained by London Sovereign with a new contract awarded. [5] On 18 January 2014, the frequency was increased again, by 25 per cent. [6]

On 7 October 2016, the route commenced operating 24 hours on Friday and Saturday nights to coincide with the introduction of the Night Tube on the Jubilee line. [7]
