- History
Route N26 began operating in July 1992 as a replacement for the eastern section of the withdrawn N6. It ran between Victoria and Walthamstow Central Station via Westminster, Trafalgar Square, Aldwych, Fleet Street, Ludgate Circus, Mansion House, Bank, Liverool Street, Shoreditch, Hackney Road, Cambridge Heath, Hackney, Morning Lane, Hackney Wick, Ruckholt Road, Leyton High Road and Bakers Arms. In 1995 it was withdrawn between Trafalgar Square and Victoria, but extended from Walthamstow Central to Walthamstow (Fulbourne Road) via Church Hill and Shernhall Street. Unofficially, the route went to Crooked Billet, which was the destination shown on the blind. In 2001 the route was withdrawn between Walthamstow Central and Fulbourne Road, but extended to Chingford Station via Crooked Billet, Chingford Mount and The Ridgeway to replace route N38 which was curtailed at Walthamstow Central. At the same time it was also diverted between Mare Street, Hackney, and Leyton Town Hall via Well Street instead of Morning Lane, and Clays Lane instead of direct via Ruckholt Road. On 25 June 2011, First Capital gained the contract for route N26, and are now operating it from their Lea Interchange (LI). New Alexander Dennis Enviro400 double deckers were introduced.
On 22 June 2013, the operation of route N26 was transferred to Tower Transit.
