I thought this would be a good idea seeing how some places have a wide variety of types running through them, apologies if there is already a thread for this
To start of with I feel Edgware/Mill Hill has a large variety going through it with all the following types running through it:
VW (79), DW (G2) (142, 221, 340, 642), VP (302), VWH (G3) (114 & 302), DWL (288, 303, 305), ENL (288/303/305), TA (32), TEH (32, 107, 113, 186, 204, 240, 606), SW (142, 340), VLA (142, 340, 642), PDL (288, 303, 305), TE (32, 107, 113, 114, 186, 204, 240, 606), DE (251), VLW (142, 221, 340, 642), DW (G1) (142, 340, 642), SLE (292, 618, 619), VHR (292, 618, 619), VH (G2)(292, 618, 619), SP (292, 618, 619), VH (G3) (292, 618, 619), T (142, 221, 340, 642), HV (221), ELV (688), TPL (688), WVL (688) - Feel free to add any more if I missed them
EDIT 26/09/17: Enviro 400 City on the 614/644, DS on the 688, E on the 688, ADE on the 292

Hounslow is another with area with variety, you get:
Scania OmniCity DD on routes 111, 281 and H32 plus occasional appearances on routes 81, 116, 423 and the soon to be lost 120 and 222
Volvo B5LH/Wright Gemini 3 on route 116 (older style) while the 120 and 222 will use the newer style from late June and mid September respectively

Route 36 at one point of time has seen E, EH, PVL, WHV and WVL (gen 1 & 2) types. With the PVLs gone, it still sees EHs and MHVs from PM.

Years ago, Brixton had a lot of variety - it was one of a handful of places you could find RM's, L's (the proper L's ordered by London Transport), M's & T's on the same street let alone the same area along with other interesting buses like the SP's & the much forgotten DEL East Lancs EL2000 Darts - Tridents were always sort of an oddity as well as we only ever had the Connex ones & PDL1-50. Sadly nowadays, it's just full of bog standard stuff with the rarest things being odd appearances of a MAN MCV or MAN Enviro 200 on the 355 and the DOE's. Here is a list anyway and what routes they can be found on: Abellio London Alexander Dennis Enviro 40H - Routes 345, 415 Alexander Dennis Enviro 40H MMC - Routes 109/N109, 345, 415 (and 45 from later this year) Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 & 40D - Routes 345, 415 LT class Wrightbus New Bus for London - Routes 3/N3, 159 Arriva London DW class VDL DB300 Wrightbus Gemini2 - Routes 133, 333, N133 HA class Alexander Dennis Enviro 40H City - Routes 133, 333, N133 HV class Volvo B5LH Wrightbus Gemini2 - Routes 133, 333, N133 HV class Volvo B5LH Wrightbus Gemini3 - Route 2/N2 LT class Wrightbus New Bus for London - Route 59 T class Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 - Routes 250, 690, N2 VLA class Volvo B7TL Transbus & Alexander Dennis ALX400 - Routes 690, N2 Go-Ahead London DOE class Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 Optare Olympus - Route 37 E class Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 & 40D - Routes 35, 37, 45, 118, 196, 432 EH class Alexander Dennis Enviro 40H - Routes 118, 196, 432 EH class Alexander Dennis Enviro 40H MMC - Routes 35, 37, 45, 432 LDP class Dennis & Transbus Dart SLF Pointer - Route 355, P5 MHV class Volvo B5LH MCV Evoseti - Routes 35, 37, 45, 432 PVL class Volvo B7TL Plaxton President - 45 SE class Alexander Dennis Enviro 200 & 20D - Routes 322, 355, P5 SE class Alexander Dennis Enviro 20D MMC - Route P5 SEN class Alexander Dennis Enviro 200 - Route 322 SOE class Alexander Dennis Enviro 200 Optare Esteem - 355 WHV class Volvo B5LH Wrightbus Gemini3 - Routes 35, 45 (these are quite rare in all honesty due to being MW vehicles) WHY class Wright Eelctrocity Hybrid - P5 WVL class Volvo B7TL Wright Eclipse Gemini - Routes 45, 196 WVL class Volvo B9TL Wrightbus Gemini2 - Routes 118, 196, 432 200 series Transbus Dart SLF Pointer - 355 700 series MAN Enviro 200 & MAN MCV Evolution - 355 Stagecoach London 343 & 345 series Transbus Dart SLF Pointer - P4 362, 363 & 365 series Alexander Dennis Enviro 200 & 20D - P4 366 series Alexander Dennis Enviro 20D MMC - P4 Later this year, WS class Streetlites for the 355 will be a new type joining the above list  |

I mentioned recently that Stratford City bus station not only has variety but no two routes have the same type (main allocation).
In terms of single route with so much variety, the 55 had so many types a couple of years ago before it converted to LT's. We had 17001 and 19000 as special buses, I think it had buses from with about 8 different reg years.

Liverpool Street *used to* be very varied. Still is… but not as much 😅
388: East Lancs Lolynes + Scanias, with occasional Olympus EO1. Now only Cities + occasional E400
48: under Stagecoach - Tridents + Scanias, occasional E400. Now DWs and BorisBuses.
149: BorisBuses with G2 and G3 strays
344: MMCs + E400s
35: EvoSetis + MMCs + occasional E400
26: MMC Cities
8: BorisBuses with a rare E400
42: EvoSetis + MMCs + occasional Weevil. Formerly SOEs and Darts.
242: Gemini 1 and 2s, now FrogFaces
133 - a bit furter away, E400, DWs; now G2 HVs and Cities.
23: E400s and G1s.
11: BorisBuses.
Have I missed something… 🤔

Have I missed something… 🤔 Route 205 being the only route to use Euro6 E40H Enviro400s along with MMC E40Hs from the 277 which like straying. Routes 47 and 135 have B5LH MMCs however the 47 does see 12401 (a single E40H MMC) as well as standard Euro6 E40Hs. The 135 occasionally sees B9TLs. Route 78 uses E40H Cities along with the 26, 133 and 388. |

Have I missed something… 🤔 The four DW's at BN are regularly found on the 133 alongside the Gemini HV's, Gemini2 HV's & the HA's. The 42 used to see the ELS class Omnitowns before the SOE's as well as (going further back), DWL, VP & VWL strays. |

Unfortunately the TA's won't be seen on any RM routes. They're leaving us now. Had noticed they've been parked up for a few days now as shown by 18451 leaving us 😔😔 |
