Going out on a long shot here. Anyone successfully managed an end to end of route 205 in its current form they wouldn't mind sending me?

Downside of fitting devices like RIBAS or GreenRoad - drivers drive around the system.

The 25s drive very slowly - partly because of an absolutely massive loading, all the time... The 8 and the 205 are nice routes though. 15 is a bit traffic-clogged in the western end, though the Aldgate-Blackwall section is much quicker. Very rarely use the 277 so I wouldn't know about that.

I don't use first buses if I can help because they all think that driving 10 mph under the speed limit is a good idea

Having done both the 8 and 15 I can agree that yes they are very nice routes. Haven't done the other 2 yet.

Western half of the route is quite nice, the bus is often fairly empty in that section though! The Aldgate-Bow section can be pretty slow and crowded, depending on how the 25 is doing that day. Sometimes see the occasional Mile End turn, though not a route that's usually too unreliable.

Yeah I've seen what the Bow-Aldgate section can be like; I got a 205 down to Aldgate when I learnt the 15. Saying that I looked in my Big Red Book today and note that the 205 serves a LOT of stations
