[edit] History
Route 316 was introduced on 11 October 1997 to replace the withdrawn section of route 16 between Cricklewood & Neasden, the 316 then runs parallel with route 16 to Kilburn High Road, and then runs down Cambridge Avenue, past Kilburn Park Station, onto Carlton Vale, past Queen's Park station, a double run at Ladbroke Grove Sainsburys, onto Ladbroke Grove, Barlby Road and finishes at North Kensington outside St Charles Hospital.
The 316 was operated by Metroline from Cricklewood Garage, using low floor Dennis Dart SLFs and the odd Metrobus. The allocation was then transferred within the Metroline group to Thorpe's, at the Wembley garage, using new Dennis Darts, the allocation was moved to the new West Perivale garage in 2003.
In 2005, the allocation was moved back into Metroline's Cricklewood garage with the existing Dennis Darts and routes 143, 326 and C11 was given to Thorpe's.
On the 13 October 2007, the section between Cricklewood and Neasden was withdrawn and was replaced by new route 332, which runs from Brent Park Tesco and terminates at Paddington Station via route 16 and then route 27. The 316 will also be extended from North Kensington to Shepherd's Bush Green via route 295 at a later date.
