London Buses route N9

History
Route N9 started on 25 February 1994 as a replacement for route N65 and part of route N92, running from Trafalgar Square to Kingston via Piccadilly Circus, Hyde Park Corner, Kensington, Hammersmith, Putney Bridge, Putney Common, Barnes, East Sheen and Richmond, then alternates via Twickenham and Fulwell, or Petersham and Ham. The route was operated using L class Olympians from Stamford Brook garage. From 9 November 1996, the route was transferred to Hounslow garage and was thus converted to M class Metrobuses. On 8 March 1997, the route was extended from Trafalgar Square to Aldwych. On 28 June, the routeing was standardised with all journeys running via Fulwell.

On 29 November 2000, the route was rerouted between Putney Bridge and Richmond via Upper Richmond Road (Barnes section replaced by route N22). On 31 March 2001, weekend short working journeys were introduced between Aldwych and Hammersmith. From 29 September 2001, a the route was withdrawn between Hammersmith and Kingston, and was diverted to Heathrow Central via Chiswick, Turnham Green, Brentford, Hounslow and Cranford, replacing route N97 (Kingston section replaced by N10 and N22). Also, from this date the Hammersmith short journeys were extended to Hounslow Garage. There were no changes until 27 March 2008, when the route was extended from Heathrow Central to the new Terminal 5 bus station.
