Go Ahead could actually have a shot for the 46, sometimes if there are good transport links from the garage to route terminus it won’t matter on deadruns and mileage if the distance is not too far. Route 15 can be an example, not even close to RR but the DLR and District Line from numerous places on the route, can get you to RR very quickly. I reckon Waterloo Garage RA could have a shot at the 46, with deadruns to Lancaster Gate and Bart’s Hospital via the Waterloo & City Line to Bank and using the Central Line. You could also use the Bakerloo and Northern and the Jubilee to access some of the 46’s routing like at Swiss Cottage, Hampstead or Warwick Avenue instead of a driver changeover or any fault or cause. RA is full I believe. Oh yes, true. If it wasn’t full but it is sadly. |

Good thread.
357, most mentions of scrapping in this forum
D7, must be in here for something, both terminus's so close. Oddly can get from each one with the D6.

The 465 reaches the furthest point from Greater London, Dorking.

Okay, time for a little more of a night bus injection!  There are four 24 hour routes in London that wholly stay within one borough whilst operating: 64- Croydon 365- Havering 474- Newham E1 (Fri-Sat nights)- Ealing The N551 is the only through bus serving Aldgate Bus Station Putney Hill is the only bus corridor (road with more than two routes in this classification) to have the same bus routes serve it during the day and night; in the 14, 37, 85 and 93. I know people are keen to mention the 43/134 combo along Highgate and Muswell Hill, and it may be the longest distance served by 2 bus routes on their own, but I find staring at bus poles along Putney Hill so comforting as a night owl.  Day routes: Route 276 is the only bus route to traverse Stratford Broadway but not serve it in some form. Ever since the gyratory was removed and stop E (Old Town Hall) disappeared, the 276 has only served one stop in Stratford towards Stoke Newington and that's in the bus station. The reason I talk about stop E: the 276 never called at the Tramway Avenue stop with the other West Ham Lane buses. It's caused me great annoyance in recent months when I catch the bus northbound around Canning Town and I have to get off a stop earlier and walk or wait for another bus. Most times it's the former cause I know TfL deliberately overlooked that detail due to the rather large journey times on the roure. And seeing as the 246 is the hot potato of this thread, I believe I'm right in saying the 246 is the only TfL route to stand in a car park but not seve it, at Westerham's Darnet car park. Can't think of any other country bumpkin route, as one BK driver has called 'em lool that stands in a car park but doesn't alight or pick up there. It's been driving me mad going to work in the south east of England and passing a 246 either terminating or commencing its service and seeing no stand in sight.  |

Sorry I don't understand the bit about Putney Hill as the 39 and 424 both serve Putney Hill and aren't 24 hour routes. |

But doesn't the 39 ruin it as that goes all the way from the bottom of Putney hill to the top and also the 14,37 and 85 turn off at the Heath |

Apologies for the letting the ball slip on that one, I'm a fish out of the Putney waters it seems  |

106 and 236 Start at 3.55am - Both routes have been 24 hours at one stage so could explain the early starts, both also serve local hospitals.

The 106 and 236 wow I could never expect that but they make sense and give good links from Royal London and Homerton Hospitals indeed. They should just make them both 24 hours at this point and the 490 aswell |

The 482 is quite an early one starting at 3:20am |
