I think route 124 is the only former double-deck route now using minimal length single-decks.

Although if we're being really picky, the 631/H2/H3 use even smaller buses, so a 9m E200 isn't the absolute minimal length for a London bus.

Replying to myself as I've just realised we can add 162 and 233 (the latter being discussed in another thread) to the list of former DD routes that now use the smallest E200s. Odd that all the examples so far are in the same corner of London.

Odd that all the examples so far are in the same corner of London. A lot of this dates back to the 1990s and 2000s, when there was a vogue for converting infrequent double deck routes into frequent midibus routes. Some were also re-routed to giver better penetration of residential areas (it was around this time that a target of having a high percentage of homes within 400m of a bus stop was established) and are now stuck with having to use smaller vehicles.

And don't forget the W12 is also still using 7.8m Solos.

The 66 meets with the 396 and 462 respectively. Both are multiples of 66.
The 5 meets with the 115, 145, 150, 175, 300, 325, 330, and 375. That’s to be expected since the 5 is such a low number for multiples.

It occurred to me that within this year that I had coincidentally taken:
202, 212, 222, 232, 242, 252, 262, 272, 282 and 292, and I don't think any of them cross each other.

With the 333 presently planned for SW from January the depot would then have three routes terminating at three different Broadways:
11 - Fulham Broadway 333 - Tooting Broadway N11 - Ealing Broadway

Routes 11, 22, 44, 88, 176 and 352 which are multiples of 11 are all under the same operator

Routes 11, 22, 44, 88, 176 and 352 which are multiples of 11 are all under the same operator 363 (although that will pass to Abellio soon), 396, 473 will join soon in March, and the 484 can be added to that list. Not to mention the 231 and 462, that are concidentally are multiples of each other, used to be operated by Go-Ahead as well, although for obvious reasons that no longer counts. The 77, 132, 154, 209, 264 can also be added to this list as well.

Lots of mono-digit numbers

However you can't include the 182 or 302 as they both meet the 232

Two routes ending in 68 have either been retired or the route withdrawn this year (168 withdrawn and X68 renumbered SL6). The same can be said for the 07 series (507 withdrawn, 607 renumbered SL8)
Routes withdrawn this year: 168, 271, 332, 507, 521 Route numbers withdrawn this year: 607, X26, X68
The question is when has even one example taken place in the same year, let alone two which is very rare
