Since 2000 when N lost Route 322 neither garage has retained it since. BC 2000-2005 SW 2005-2010 BC 2010-2015 SW 2015-2022 (7) How on earth did GAL get a 2 year extension?? The performance and reliability of that route is abysmal

The performance and reliability of that route is abysmal I'm as surprised as you were when announced but with the exception of around 2016 which had little reason for being upside down, it's been pretty good all things considered until 2019 when the over-extended Brixton diversion came about which resulted in that abysmal reliability you say, not also helped by West Norwood being a roadwork town for the best part of those years since.

The performance and reliability of that route is abysmal The 322 is known to be a difficult route to operate reliably (see also: 192). When you say "abysmal", do you mean against the set targets or by your personal experience?

The 19A when it ran Tufnell Park to Hammersmith, crossed the Thames twice, once over Battersea Bdg, then over Putney Bridge. Don't forget the old 45 that also crossed the river twice. Moz

When you say "abysmal", do you mean against the set targets or by your personal experience? Bar the period under Connex when it ran from Elephant to Palace and became the least reliable route in London due to it being wholly inadequate north of Stockwell Green,, it shouldn’t be that difficult to run. The end to end time isn’t that bad and traffic wise, it’s not particularly heavy with only Palace & Brixton being the big pains. I can only imagine that the closure of Atlantic Road during the pandemic & endless digging up of Norwood Road which screwed every route up has contributed to the poor performance as Unorm eluded to

What TFL buses operate completely outside of the London LOOP? From what I know H25, H26 and 399 operate completely outside of the LOOP, but there's probably more.

I had to look that up as well - apparently, it a walking loop that stretches from Erith to Purfleet in a circular loop through Greater London - tfl.gov.uk/modes/walking/loop-walk

Not a route, but am I right in saying that not a single electric bus (asides from demonstrators) have transferred between two garages within a company and have worked routes from both garages?

Hayes (Hillingdon) might be the place with the greatest number of different termini: Hayes Sainsbury's Hayes Asda Hayes and Harlington Station Hayes Prologis Park Hayes End Hayes By Pass Hayes Bourne Avenue Hayes End, Lansbury Drive 6 different termini with Hayes in its name, rising to 8 including school routes East Ham isn't too far with 7 destinations to curtail at: East Ham Station East Ham, Plashet Grove East Ham, Ron Leighton Way East Ham, Newham Town Hall East Ham, Central Park East Ham, Lonsdale Avenue East Ham, Greatfield Avenue The first two and the last two are for the same stand but in different directions. Before GAL took over the 101 from Stagecoach, there was an East Ham, Fire Station blind also for the Lonsdale Avenue stand. East Ham now has 8 destination blinds as unfortunately, I saw MMC hybrid 12421 on the 474 a fortnight ago with the disgustingly plain blind of 'East Ham'. I know, I'm shocked TfL still specify this blind too! That means East Ham Station (Wordsworth Road) stand has three blinds for that one turn. Pretty sure that is unique as I can't think of any other curtailment point that has three different blinds for it.
