Location of Kings Cross (KC) Bus Garage/Outstation

Kings Cross (KC)
Opened 10th July 2010, outstation of Holloway (HT).
Located in Freight Lane, it replaced the first Kings Cross (KX) which was located in the Potato Market north of the station.
It took the 46 and daytime operation of the 274 from KX and the 24 hour 214 and night 274 from Holloway, so it was allocated two full 24 hour routes (214 and 274) and the daily 46.
A height restriction prevented the transfer of the 390 from KX to KC, so this moved to Holloway.
In 2011 the all-night service on the 274 was withdrawn from 25th June, new DE entered service in July.
In 2012 new DE entered service during August, intended for the 46 but mainly used on the 214.
In 2018 Metroline were awarded the new contract for the 30 commencing 23rd June, this was operated from Kings Cross with VMH, so whatever height restriction was, (may have been the bus wash) it had been had been resolved. The 46 was transferred to Holloway.
The 274 was converted to VMH during October.
The introduction of new BEL to the 46 in October/November 2018 resulted in surplus DE replacing the DLD on the 214.
In 2019 the 214 was lost to Go-Ahead from 16th/17th August.
In 2023 the garage closed at the end of traffic on 9th June, from 10th June the 30 and 274 moved to Holloway.
