If the 220 were to be extended down Battersea Park, it would meet with all the “37” routes: 37, 137, 237 and 337. In that case, it will be a good thing that the former southern section of route 137 to Crystal Palace is numbered 417 not 437.

More interesting about the 37 group is that you can get on each and every 37 bus route sequentially, without repeating any routes, but there is only one order in which you can do this. 237, H37, 337, 37 and 137 (or vice versa). You might think that that is the case with the Superloop routes, but the SL4 doesn't connect with any others, and route SL9 would have to be ridden twice (once Heathrow to Hayes and once Hayes to Harrow). I don't think that there are any other route sets which this applies to.

The current 87 was originally tendered as route 437, so we could have already had that number covered by 220 ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Interestingly, Greenwich Cutty Sark is one of the places where the 177, 188 and 199 meet. is there any other place in London where there are the last double digits of the route number are the same? This can also apply for double digit numbers too.

Very good point. 155 255 355 Balham is the only one other one I know Rest are two the 77 & 88 at Vauxhall & 44 & 77 at Tooting but 3 is definitely a rare thing.

Adding onto my previous post, I also realised that although all three routes do not intersect in one place, route 122 connects with route 322 at Crystal Palace and route 422 in Woolwich. If only route 22 ran in South London, it would've completed the puzzle!

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? 366 - the only single decker route to serve Barking Town Centre 205 - Serves the most hospitals?? (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 The 25 does not serve Forest Gate or Manor Park. It does serve Woodgrange Park, however.

Not even a world record throw would reach Forest Gate or Manor Park stations, and that's from the 25 route, let alone from a 25 bus stop

I have to disagree and say the 25 stops are some distance from Manor Park and Forest Gate to qualify as serving them. They are close as in they can probably be seen when passing but that's about it.
