History
In July 2016, Transport for London opened a public consultation on proposals for the route to be extended from West Hampstead to Golders Green as part of the Inner North West London Buses review.[7] This took effect on 1 April 2017 with the route being extended to Golders Green and at the same was transferred from Metroline to London Sovereign.[8][9]
When next tendered, the contract to operate the route was re-awarded to Metroline with the handover occurring on 29 August 2020.[10]
