[edit] History
The 266 replaced the former trolleybus route 666 between Edgware and Hammersmith in 1962, the Colindale and Edgware section was discounted in 1970. In 1976, the 266 was rerouted Mondays to Fridays except Late evenings and Saturdays except evenings to the new Brent Cross Shopping Centre. It was extended from Colindale to Mill Hill Broadway, via Grahame Park and Montrose Avenue. The section between Staples Corner and Mill Hill Broadway section was withdrawn in 1981.
The 266, gained a night service (N266) in 2001 but only running to Cricklewood Garage. Brent Cross Bus station was subsequently opened for 24 hours operation and now the route runs there day and night. The 'N' prefix was dropped in 2004.
