- History
Night bus N5 is a special night service for the Northern Line (Edgware Branch) between Charing Cross Station and Edgware Station, although was diverted away from Brent Cross Station on 24 January 1994 to run via Brent Street instead. Night bus N20 covers the High Barnet Branch.
The route began on 28 October 1989 running from Edgware serving all Northern Line stations to Charing Cross and then via the Strand to terminate at the Aldwych. Some journeys diverted via Whitehall and Westminster to Victoria Station. (Returning via Victoria Embankment and Arundel Street before continuing from Aldwych). The section between Aldwych and Trafalgar Square (Charing Cross) was withdrawn on 18 July 1992 and the journeys to Victoria were withdrawn on 24 June 1995.
The route was initially run from Holloway Bus Garage using MCW Metrobuses before being converted to low floor operation using Volvo B7TL / Plaxton President double deckers from 2001. An Edgware (EW) allocation was introduced during August 2003, initially with 3 buses but increasing its share until 2007 when Holloway's weeknight allocation was withdrawn.
In June 2013, Alexander Dennis Enviro400 double deckers were introduced.
