London Buses route 384

London Buses route 384 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, England. The service is currently contracted to Metroline.
History
Route 384 began on 21 April 1990, largely running along previously unserved roads. The route starts at Cockfosters Station, northern terminus of the Piccadilly Line, then running via Mount Pleasant, territory previously quite a walk from a bus route. Buses then run through the shops and station at New Barnet, before heading south again to serve the Lyonsdown and Barnet Vale areas and then climbing to High Barnet, where a new terminus was established at the rear of The Spires shopping centre.
Intially MCW Metroriders were drafted into Potters Bar garage to run the service. The Metroriders were replaced by new MW class Wright bodied Mercedes minibuses from April 1993. Contract renewal in July 1998 saw the route extended over the western leg of short route 385, via Wellhouse Lane and Whitings Road to Quinta Drive, and buses terminate by going round this triangle at the junction with Aitken Road. In 2007 new Alexander Dennis Enviro200 Darts took over operation of the route.
