[edit] History

The current route dates back to 18 July 1992, and was introduced to replace the withdrawn section of London Buses route 6 between Aldwych and Hackney Wick.

On 21 July 2005, (alleged) would-be bomber Muktar Said Ibrahim exploded a device contained in his rucksack on a 26 bus, in Hackney Road. Thankfully, the device failed to detonate.
