Once again, your favourite Yorkshireman and occasional contributor is here. When I last visited London, in February, I managed a few more routes to add to my collection: 1, 2 and 3 in one day, starting from Brockley, Overground to Canada Waterr, then the 1, Underground to Marylebone, then caught the 2 all the way to West Norwood, took a few photograohs before making my way to Crystal Palace. From there, after some suitable refreshments and more photography, I rode on the 3 to Trafalgar Square.
The next day I got to Waterloo and travelled on the 4 to Archway, once again taking time to take pictures of buses. Time was limited that day so I caught the 390 to King's Cross to make my appointments elsewhere.
A couple of days later I took the 122 to Crystal Palace and there transferred to the 450 for a run to West Croydon bus station. I didn't waste any time there, but caught the 405 to Redhill. This was a great ride on a glorious spring like day and I spent longer there than anticipated as I had intended to visit Reigate and/or Guildford. Once back at West Croydon I couldn't resist taking more shots of buses - and the odd tram! After which, I travelled back to my lodgings on a 75 as far as Catford and then the 171.
A day or so later I completed the P4 from Brixton to Lewisham and the following day I happened to be at King's Cross and decided I must try the 5, so had to get to Canning Town and on to Romford Market and at the terminus I just had to take more pictures. From there I went to Romford Station and did a bit of a double back to the market on the 86, continuing to Stratford. Time to return "home" and I took the 108 and 122.
Here is my updated list of end-to-end routes completed: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 13 (on the final day of Routemasters on that route), 14, 15H, 22, 24, 37, 40, 42, 53, 63, 78, 86, 88, 91, 98, 115, 122, 134, (including to & from Potters Bar when it travelled that distance),139, 171, 172, 184, 188, 295, 328, 363, 405, P4 and P13.

That set me thinking as how best to do all R1-R11 routes end to end most efficiently. Here goes with my suggestion. R8 Orpington Stn (you will be here a few times!) to end of route in Biggin Hill walk forward to stop in Lebanon Gardens R2 to Biggin Hill East Hill R2 to Orpington Walnuts centre walk to Orpington High Street R11to Green Street Green Rose & Crown end of route cross over road R1 to Orpington Stn R9 circular to Orp Stn R1 to St Pauls Cray end of route walk down Midfield Way R11 to Queen Mary’s Hospital R11 to Orpington High St McD’s R1/3/6/9 51 to Orp Stn R6 to St Mary Cray Stn walk to Sevenoaks Way 51/R1 B14/to Orp Stn R3 to Princess Royal Hospital R4 to Pauls Cray Hill R4 to St Mary Cray High St walk through Nugent Centre 51/R1/B14 to Orp Stn R5/R10 circular R10/R5 circular walk down Station Approach to the Maxwell 61 to Chislehurst R7 to Chelsfield Village.
Anyone prepared to try that.

That set me thinking as how best to do all R1-R11 routes end to end most efficiently. Here goes with my suggestion I’ve no idea if it’s the most efficient way of doing it - I suspect there may be a few ways of doing it - but since I’m at the changeover point for my bus a bit early I worked out an itinerary based on your suggestion. It’s based on weekday times and requires some VERY tight connections and ends up needing half an hour in the pub at Chelsfield to wait for an R7 going around the Chelsfield loop since the R7 you end up on at Chislehurst terminates at the Five Bells! Here’s the itinerary: R8 - 0630 Orpington Bus Station Arrive Biggin Hill Post Office 0659 R2 - 0733 Biggin Hill Post Office Arrive Biggin Hill East Hill 0740 R2 - 0746 Biggin Hill East Hill Arrive Orpington Walnuts Centre 0825 Walk to Orpington War Memorial Arrive 0828 R11 - 0831 Orpington War Memorial Arrive Green Street Green 0841 R1 - 0852 Green Street Green Arrive Orpington Station 0909 R9 - 0909 Orpington Station Arrive Orpington Station 0939 R1 - 0948 Orpington Station Arrive St Paul’s Cray Grovelands 1015 Walk to Midfield Way Arrive 1019 R11 - 1020 Midfield Way Arrive Queen Mary’s Hospital 1032 R11 - 1043 Queen Marys Hospital Arrive Orpington War Memorial 1117 Walk to Orpington Station Arrive 1129 R6 - 1156 Orpington Station Arrive St Mary Cray Station 1222 R1 - 1222 St Mary Cray Station Arrive Orpington Station 1237 R3 - 1247 Orpington Station Arrive PRU 1335 R4 - 1350 PRU Arrive Paul’s Cray Hill 1437 R4 - 1439 Paul’s Cray Hill Arrive Orpington Station 1505 R5 - 1547 Orpington Station Arrive Orpington Station 1658 R10 - 1706 Orpington Station Arrive Orpington Station 1814 Walk Tubbenden Lane Arrive 1817 61 - 1828 Tubbenden Lane Arrive Chislehurst Sainsburys 1849 R7 - Chislehurst Sainsburys 1859 Arrive Chelsfield Village 1948 R7 - 2015 Chelsfield Village Arrive Orpington Station 2032 An alternative ending would be the 1843 R7 from Tubbenden Lane and ride that around Chelsfield and on to Chislehurst arriving at 1943. But then you don’t get half an hour in the Five Bells! 😉 So rugbyref, you’ve made the plan and I’ve made the itinerary. We just need someone crazy enough to go and do it now! 😂
