London Buses route 91

London Buses route 91 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, United Kingdom. The service is currently contracted to First London.

History
Today's route 91 commenced on 10 October 1992 as a daily route between Crouch End and Trafalgar Square, as a replacement of route 14A and part of route 30. This was the fifth time, the number 91 had been used as a route number on a London motor bus route. There was some speculation at the time, that the choice of route number was not accidental and was in fact connected to the two separate parts of the route; (Ex14A) Crouch End - Kings Cross and (Ex30) Kings Cross - Trafalgar Square, which had been been traditionally served by the 14 and 77 routes respectively and which when added together make 91.

In 1997, the route was then awarded to Capital Citybus, now part First London, and new Volvo Olympians were ordered.

2002 saw new TNs (Dennis Trident 2/Plaxton President, as well as existing TNs cascaded from other garages) to convert the route to low-floor operation.
