Circle Bus Routes

[wh541]

Is route 573 the only circle bus route that runs in one direct only ie clockwise/Anti Clockwise.

Are there any others that run in one direction only?

[DT 11]

138 Coney Hall Loop
291 Woodlands Estate Loop
327 Elsinge Estate Loop
H2 Golders Green Loop
R5 Knockholt Loop
R6 St Mary Cray Loop
R8 Biggin Hill Loop
R9 Ramsden Loop
R10 Knockholt Loop
R70 Hampton Loop

H9/H10 and H18/H19 also operate as circles.
H9 and H18 operate anticlockwise and H10 and H19 operate clockwise.

No

138: Bromley North - Hayes - Coney Hall - Hayes - Bromley North
R5: Orpington Station - High Street - Walnuts Centre - High Street - Green Street Green - Pratt's Bottom - Halstead - Knockholt - Cudham - Green Street Green - Orpington Station.
R10 = Reverse of R5.

R70: Richmond Manor Circus - Richmond Station - Twickeham - Fulwell - Hampton Loop - Fulwell - Twickenham - Richmond Station - Richmond, Manor Circus

Routes R5, R9, R10 only go in One direction. R5 & R10 is the same R5 is Clockwise, R10 is anticlockwise

The Orpington area R-routes aren't really circular as such. The R5/R10 and R8 run a large loop which starts and ends at Orpington Station, though that's more of a P-shape than properly circular. Some of the others run small loops at the end, such as the R3 and R8 though they are largely bi-directional routes. The R6 doesn't have a loop as far as I know.

R5, R9 & R10 are defiantly Circular services.
R6 takes all of its Stand time in Orpington Station.
R8 has a Loop in Biggin Hill

Indeed, they run a sort of P-shape with a double run in Orpington. The R8's loop is pretty small, though given it's a one-bus route for most of the time it essentially runs as a loop.

The 499 runs in a one way loop at the Becontree part of the route but is scheduled to take 2 mins stand time. Not sure if that falls into the definition of a circular service.

I am confused by Metrobus's remark about the 138. Surely the route at Coney Hall is a one way loop? Same for the R70.

138 is a one way Loop via Coney Hall. then back to Hayes

Route 24 at the Pimlico area.

Also 346

[eggmiester]

the 178 and B16 both loop the old Ferrier Estate (now named Kidbrooke Village) in Kidbrooke, all buses heading to all destinations go the same way round the loop.

although may all change soon once the result of the recent consulted proposals is known.

[T.R.]

H9/H10 in Harrow?

[ilovelondonbuses]

Route 518.

[romfordbuses]

Clutching at straws here but the 103 and 175 termini at North Romford are loops so *technically sort of maybeish* they are circle routes.
