Night bus N2 provides the night service for routes 2 (between Victoria & West Norwood) and 432 (between West Norwood & Crystal Palace) continues from Victoria, to Trafalgar Square via Victoria Street, Parliament Square and Whitehall.
The route started on the night of
13 April 1984 running between Trafalgar Square and West Norwood Station using Daimler buses, run from Victoria Garage (GM), which were replaced by Metrobuses later that year. The route was extended into North London on27 October 1984 to Frien Barnet and to Crystal Palace in the south. A Holloway Garage single bus allocation was added to the two bus allocation at GM. The Victoria allocation was reduced to Saturday Night only, with Holloway and Muswell Hill Garages sharing the main route from September 1987. The Holloway and Muswell Hill allocation lasted until August 1990, when it was replaced by Finchley Garage, and Holloway reduced to Saturday Nights only, replacing Victoria Garage. Buses were then extended from Frien Barnet to North Finchley for garage journeys, and all journeys by18 August 1992 . Finchley Garage was closed and the whole allocation moved to Holloway on4 December 1993 .A further route change took place on
23 June 1995 when the section between North Finchley and Camden Town was withdrawn, with the route divering at Camden Town to terminate at Hampstead Heath which replaced the withdrawn route N93. This section was withdrawn on27 November 1999 , being replaced by a night service on route 24, and the route once again ran from Trafalgar Square now to Crystal Palace.The route passed from Metroline to Arriva on the
1 April 2000 , running from Norwood Garage using Leyland Olympians from the day route 2, being converted to low floor operation with the day route toVolvo B7TL Alexander ALX400 s (VLAs) in 2003.Current route
