Not a bad quiz. Although I did kind of struggle on 7a. When your looking at the question the first thing that came to me head was that without thought. Tbh I was thinking of the iBus way and not the proper way if you catch me drift. Another one please..

It has happened before, people don't want to pick the most obvious answer if the question seems easy! In one of the previous quizzes, one question was to name a bus that Arriva operates. Of all of the answers given, nobody picked the DLA ;D I am sure you can guess why I picked the C10! I thought N35 would have been the one a lot of people went for. Could choice by MrEdd with the 407...I should have picked the 490! I chose the 407 because it was the only one I knew ;D

Good choice evidently ;D Thanks for the feedback everyone. There were some great answers given, learned a thing or two myself. I think for the next quiz, I will feature a few questions similar to these, but also a few more easier to understand ones. I don't like the idea of many picking up penalty points. I am sure you can guess why I picked the C10! I thought N35 would have been the one a lot of people went for. Could choice by MrEdd with the 407...I should have picked the 490! I thought you might . Just as well you didn't come on the 490 as it was non stop drama from end to end ;D. With the iBus tracking going completely kaput, the drivers were taking the p*ss anyway, 4 of us running together at one point and curtailments issued by roadside controllers left, right and centre! I could have put N3 after all i thought everyone would put that as it was the regular route Thats the reason why we didn't put it down ;D Question 2 was the one that bothered me as I had no idea of any routes that did more than one routing. The R5 came up in my head but then I realised that they changed it. I completely forgot aobut the B12. Question 7a - the last stop of the C2 is victoria. In case any wasn't aware I always thought it terminated at the main bus stop on Buckingham Palace Road. Or at least that's where I set down the passengers. I'm guessing the through road at Victoria station is open again?

^^I originally thought that as well until one day when picking up a duty on the C2, I was immediately given a letter stating that we must serve the bressenden place bus stop, which is the stop before. I believe all drivers got this and it was also posted on the noticeboard. I think many drivers (including myself) missed this stop as it has no route numbers on it After getting that letter, I realised that ibus does annouce the stop for bressenden place. After passing that stop, ibus annouces 'victoria' and when you open the doors at the C2 bus stand, ibus annouces' bus terminates here'. If you open the doors at the main bus stop on buckingham palace road, ibus doesn't say anything, meaning we shouldn't be serving that stop. It doesn't even have the C2 e-plate on the stop anyway. Despite that, I still serve that stop as many still wish to get off there for the station. I think that road by victoria station is open again as I regularly see the route 170 going through there before reaching the stand on victoria street.
