History

In 1969 frequency cuts led to over 2000 passengers signing a petition for the improvement of route 52.[1]
In December 1993 the contract to run the route was won by London Coaches, who in July 1994 transferred the route to its Atlas Bus & Coach subsidiary as it had a garage in Willesden, close to the route's terminus.[2] Atlas operated the route with Leyland Titans in a route-specific livery.[3] In November 1994, route 52 was included in the sale of Atlas Bus & Coach to Metroline.[2]
On 8 December 2012, route 52 was retained by Metroline. [4]
