Know any unique facts about any tfl route ? As trivial and boring as you want, but so long as it's unique. Something about a route that is unique in a particular setting,something only it does in its journey or in relation to other routes in its garage or a location along its route. NOT INCLUDED is a particular road that it alone goes along, lots of routes do that.
This is what I mean;
276 - only single decker to serve Stratford Bus Station
66 - only day route serving Gants Hill that doesn't serve Ilford
282 - only route to start and finish in different hospital grounds. Ealing and Mount Vernon. ( H9/10 circular so doesn't count).
Any other " unique " trivial info?

The H28 is the only route to run to 2 of one supermarket’s stores, from Bulls Bridge to Osterley. Bonus points since they’re both Tesco Extra’s.

(Not 100% sure) Royal London Hospital St Mary's Hospital University College Hospital Harley Street Portland Hospital ENT King's Cross Princess Grace Hospital 25 - Most Stations (Not 100% once again) Ilford Manor Park Forest Gate Stratford Stratford High Street Bow Church Bow Road Mile End Whitechapel Aldgate East Aldgate Fenchurch Street Bank St Paul's |

Paddington Marylebone Euston S’t Pancras King’s Cross Liverpool Street Did once serve Moorgate, but was rerouted via Shoreditch a few years ago. |

214 is the only single deck route in Camden and is the only 24 hour single deck route.
The 33 and 72 have since now got separate night services, N33 and N72 due to Hammersmith Bridge.
Leading on, the N33 and N72 are the only single deck night routes.

Taking triviality to the extreme. All routes that serve Queens Hospital Romford that do not terminate there, (175,128,365, 5,) enter via Oldchurch Rd and exit via Rom Valley Way and vice versa in opposite direction, EXCEPT 499 , which enters and exits via Oldchurch Rd.

P4 - Only route Stagecoach have operated in Brixton
P5 - serves the most low bridges out of any route in London? (Thessaly Road, Stewarts Road, Bedford Road, Coldharbour Lane, Loughborough Road)
P5 - shortest distance between two terminus via the most direct route?

296 - The only low frequency daytime route that has some sort of night service to it, which the 296 normally runs 24 hours on weekends.

The 108 is the easternmost route to cross the Thames
It is possible to travel on all 4 express routes by only relying on them. X68>X26>X140>607.
Despite the 92 and 332 terminating at the same place, they both have separate destinations, Brent Park and St Raphael's North. This could just about apply to the 53 and 122 depending on how you view it, terminating across the road from each other.
