London Buses route 18 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, England. Running between Sudbury and Euston bus station, it is operated by Metroline. ==History== In 1992 the route became the first in London to have real-time information systems fitted to stops along its route. The system, called Countdown, proved popular with passengers and has been extended to much of the city's bus network.〔(Real-time bus arrival information arrives... - Google Books )〕 In November 2003, route 18 received Mercedes-Benz O530G articulated buses with a new garage opened at Willesden Junction. In 2008 the route was named as the most problematic for crime in London. On 13 November 2010, route 18 was converted back to double deck operation as part of the Mayor of London's policy to replace the O530Gs.〔(Next set of bendy buses to leave London ) Transport for London 28 August 2009〕 New Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 bodied Volvo B9TL's were introduced, and the frequency was increased to every 4 minutes Monday to Saturday daytimes and to 6-7 Sunday daytimes.〔(Route 18 is fifth in London to banish bendy buses ) Transport for London〕 On 22 June 2013, route 18 was included in the sale of First London's Willesden Junction garage to Metroline.〔(FirstGroup Announces Sale of Eight London Bus Depots ) FirstGroup 9 April 2013 〕〔(Aberdeen firm FirstGroup sells off depots for £80m ) ''BBC News'' 9 April 2013〕〔(First quits London bus business ) ''Bus & Coach Professional'' 9 April 2013 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「London Buses route 18」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
