- History
Night bus N13 is the night service for routes 13 and 82 between North Finchley and Aldwych. The N13 started on 13 April 1984 running via the day route 13 between Trafalgar Square and North Finchley, from Finchley Garage using Metrobuses. A few months later on 27 October the route was extended from North Finchley to Barnet Church, via the current route 263. On 18 July 1992 the route was extended in Central London to Victoria Station, running via Trafalgar Square, Whitehall and Westminster.
A further extension on the northern end of the route took place on 4 December 1993 when the route was transferred to Potters Bar Garage, on the closure of Finchley, and extended to Potters Bar, via Hadley Highstone, on garage journeys. A route restructing took place on 23 June 1995 when the route was transferred to Holloway Garage, being withdrawn between Potters Bar and North Finchley, and between Victoria and Trafalgar Square.
On 1 September 2001, the Night Route was transferred from Metroline to London Sovereign's Edgware Garage along with some late evening and early morning journeys on the day 13, when London Sovereign gained the full contract for route 13. The route was also extended from Trafalgar Square to Aldwych to follow the day route at the same time. London Sovereign's service on the N13 initially used a mixture of Volvo Olympians and Volvo B7TL 10.6m / Plaxton Presidents. On 22 October 2005, brand new Scania OmniDekka double deckers were introduced.
