London Buses route 214 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, United Kingdom. The service is currently contracted to Metroline.

History

Route 214 began in 1961 to replace trolleybus route 615, between Moorgate and Parliament Hill Fields [http://www.busesatwork.co.uk/Routes/214.htm] , as part of the trolleybus replacement program.

In 1970 it was diverted in King's Cross via Crowndale Road and Camden via withdrawn route 239.

Extended Monday to Friday from Moorgate to London Bridge in 1989; the section between London Bridge and Moorgate was discontinued and was rerouted to Liverpool Street Station in 1992.

In 1993, route 214 was extended up Highgate West Hill to Highgate Village.

Route 214, has always operated from Metroline's Holloway (HT) garage, using Routemasters at first, then the route was converted to one person operation in 1981 using DMS type double deckers, these were replaced by Metrobuses in 1984.

For a short time it was operated from the Chalk Farm garage (CF) from 1984; the Metrobuses were replaced by Leyland Titans within the same year.

Route 214, was converted to single-deck in October 1989, using Leyland Nationals. These were replaced by Darts in 1992 when the route transferred to Ponders End (PE) garage.

The contract was transferred back to MTL London Holloway (HT) garage with Dennis Dart/Northern Counties Paladin (DNL type) single deckers. In 2004 the 214 gained a night service in the form of N214 which ran an incomplete route. The 'N' prefix has now been dropped as the route served is now the same day and night. Brand new Dennis Dart SLF 10.2m / Alexander Dennis Pointer were bought to convert the route into low-floor.
