It’s been over a year since the 53 and 363 were diverted over the Bricklayers Arms flyover and as a regular user of the 53 I’ve noticed a slightly faster journey time, just the other day a 453 that was in front of us was trapped in the roundabout traffic, it caught up with us at New Cross Sainsbury’s.
Are there other routes that could save a couple of minutes elsewhere in London by taking a faster road?

Are there other routes that could save a couple of minutes elsewhere in London by taking a faster road? Unless there is a very good reason for not serving a particular area and serving a faster option, then I’m usually against this sort of thing. The 53 is understandable to an extent but the 363 should of been left as it was personally. The 25 running over the Bow Flyover is the only exception as the stop at the Bow Roundabout is extremely lightly used so the people disadvantaged by it are minimal whilst the 25 needs any time saving it can get. |

I wish that the 32 went over the Staples Corner fly over.

The 363 is an odd choice because it’s nowhere near as long as the 53 is, if the 363 was simply merged into the 63 then it would be justified since Kings X to CP is a long route |

I wish the 190 used the flyover at Hogarth Roundabout.

It'd be great if the 205 used the Warren Street underpass to speed up what is a torturously long, slow route. Of course this would never happen though, because there is plenty of demand at the Warren Street, and Euston Square stops.
EDIT: You could probably just about get away with it Westbound, and get people to use the 27 to get to Paddington instead.

I'm not sure you'd gain a lot of time anyway - the contraflow bus lane in front of the hospital has helped speed up westbound buses quite a bit. |
