London Buses route 614

Uno bus route 614 is a commercially operated bus route that runs between Queensbury, London and Hatfield, Hertfordshire. This service is currently operated by Uno.

History
Like most buses run by Uno, the 614 started off as a feeder service for the University of Hertfordshire campuses, although all-day operation came at quite an early stage. Full Monday to Friday operation commenced with the 2001-2002 timetable, with the annual timetable change in the summer (usually after the August bank holiday) still being maintained. A regular half-hourly service is now provided although the projection of a couple of peak journeys through to Harrow has ceased. The main Monday to Friday daytime service is now half hourly and a Saturday service was added in 2005.

Loadings on the 614 evidently justify double deckers, in what had previously been an all-single deck fleet. The first vehicles appeared in 2003 with two DAFs, one bodied by each of the two least common makes Optare and East Lancs. The peak vehicle requirement increase in 2005 necessitated additional vehicles however, and in September 2005 three Scania N94UD/East Lancs OmniDekka arrived, painted in a pink and purple livery that replaced the previous white and black.

Although not unique in London two features are of note: they are single door; combined with the layout of the Scania, this enables no less than 80 passengers to be seated.

Secondly, they are fitted with LED destination displays - although now more-or-less standard outside London, TfL has continued with traditional roller blinds.

In 2008, 2 brand new Scania/Optare Olympus double deckers were bought for the route.

In September 2009, a new 614N night service was created, which only runs on Wednesday-Friday nights during university terms. It consists of three return journeys direct from Hatfield The Forum to Edgware Bus Station, bypassing Barnet. This is to provide a link between The Forum and Transport for London services at Edgware.

In September 2010, TFL tickets no longer are accepted and the evening serivce has been discounted.
