London Buses route 326 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, United Kingdom. The service is currently contracted to Metroline.

History

Route 326 originally ran between Potters Bar and Brent Cross but was cut back to Barnet Spires due to a lack of passengers between Barnet and Potters Bar and to shorten the route.

The route originally used Mercedes buses and was operated by Metroline. They were later replaced by low-floor Dennis Dart SLF/Marshall Capital. The route was operated by Thorpes branded buses for a short while as the company had been purchased by Metroline.

From its inception, which helped replace the old London bus route 26, it was operated by Potters Bar Bus Garage. It is now operated from West Perivale, one of Metrolines newer garages

At the moment, the route is run by Dennis Dart SLF/Plaxton Pointer 2s, however different types that are at the same depot regularly find their way onto the route.
