6. Name someone who won gold at London 2012 for Team GB
7. Name a bus route which is currently allocated a single door bus type
8. Name a unique vehicle which has served London since privatisation (i.e. The bus has to be unique to the operator e.g. If London United ran only one ADE Enviro400, then this would count)

10. Name a single bus from the batch which one of my favorite bus comes from (see my signature for info) the bus CANNOT be one stated on the signature (that'll be cheating!)

Nice Quiz. The only question I'm confused about is 10! Question 7 has a Grammar Error. Q7 now amended Q10- basically name a different vehicle, which the same batch as a vehicle from my signature, (e.g. ADE22 (YX12FOH) is a part of the same batch which ADE8 is from)

Slightly confused by Question 8 - is this unique to the operator, or unique to London as a whole?

Is it me or does Question 4 seem odd? It would make sense if it was 30mins or MORE? What school/mobility routes run less than 30 mins for which we would not have been allowed?

I mean that the service RUNS every 30 minutes or less School and Mobility buses are typically only just a few journeys (although I some school routes have five or six journeys a day)

Wouldn't 30 minutes or less be pretty much every single bus route though?
