Transport for London contracted bus route inLondon ,United Kingdom . The service is currently contracted toTransdev London .History
This route began in
1947 , running from Golders Green Station to Northwood Garage, via Brent Green, Kingsury, Kent, Harrow, North Harrow and Pinner. Operating from Hendon (AE), using RT-type double deckers.The RT's where replaced by DMS's in
1975 .Route 183 swapped with route 83 in the Hendon area. The 183 via The Quadrant and The Bell and the 83 via Hendon Central.
The DMS's were replaced by Metrobuses in
1980 .Hendon was closed in
1987 and the allocation was transferred toMetroline 's Harrow Weald garage and the DMS's returned and some single decks entered service. The 183 was extended from Northwood Station to Harrow Weald for Garage journeys.Withdrawn between Pinner and Northwood on November 1987.
For short while the 183 was converted to single deck at using
Dennis Dart SLF s when the route was transferred from Metroline to London Sovereign at their Edgware (EW) and Harrow (HW) garages.But this didn't work out too well because the 183 is a very busy route with passengers incorporating two local, large
secondary schools and so 15 brand new low-floorVolvo B7TL 10.6m /Plaxton President double deckers were bought in to convert the route into double-deck.Current route
