357 Most Recent Contract started on 29/02/2020. This is the only ever route that has had a contract start on 29th February the last time this happened on a Saturday before 2020 was in 1992. One that has definitely been missed however from reading through the most recent contract extensions I spotted this.

Route 3 last had conductors on New Year's Eve 1992. Has any other route last had conductors on New Year's Eve?
New Year's Day was a Bank Holiday, hence the buses opo, and a Friday. The opo conversion was officially on Saturday January 2nd.

When route SL3 is introduced it will be the only route that will use Routemasters in the Borough of Bexley. Greenwich is debatable as the 453 does enter Greenwich in Deptford, but it only enters there to stand.

Greenwich is debatable as the 453 does enter Greenwich in Deptford, but it only enters there to stand. I tend to go by the TfL “Bus routes & borough reports”. TfL doesn’t list the 453 for Greenwich therefore in my opinion it doesn’t count. Before anyone starts TfL does record routes that have a singular stop in boroughs, for example they list the 151 under Kingston even though it only sets downs and picks up at one stop in the boundary. |

Greenwich is debatable as the 453 does enter Greenwich in Deptford, but it only enters there to stand. Bexley are also no stranger to having LTs used in its catchment area as the N21 used to be allocated them before it went back to using conventional buses following the transfer of N89 to NX which now has some duties crosslinked with the N21. I suppose 453 may not count because while the stand is under Greenwich, the first and last stop is under Lewisham. Bromley to Beckenham has 6 TfL routes, each with a unique routing: 162 227 352 354 358 367 Is that the most? There are actually seven if you include the N3, however that has no unique routing of its own and instead shares with the 162 (excluding the Tweedy Road and West Street section). |

Route 3 last had conductors on New Year's Eve 1992. Has any other route last had conductors on New Year's Eve? New Year's Day was a Bank Holiday, hence the buses opo, and a Friday. The opo conversion was officially on Saturday January 2nd. The 95 (Cannon Street to Tooting Broadway) and 220 last had conductors on New Year's Day 1971. In those days, the 1st of January was just an ordinary working day, so both routes operated their Routemasters to the normal Mon-Fri schedule. Next day, Saturday 2nd January things went downhill with the arrival of the DMS on both routes. |

Forgot to add that the 85 converted from Routemaster to SMS on the same day and the 181(Victoria to Streatham Garage) converted from RT to SMS. Poor Tooting really suffered with the 95, 181 and 220 all losing conductors on the same day. |

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 Also with upcoming moves SW will have the 11, 44, 77, 88, 333, N11, N44, EH77 and WHV88. Lots of mono-digit numbers They now have MHV77 and MHV88, as well as MHV77/87/88 all matching with corresponding routes! |

MHVs have this week made their first 'fully blinded' workings on three consecutive route numbers, the 87, 88 and 89.

Westminster Bridge is used by 5 routes - 11, 12, 148, 211 & 453 - all LT operated.
Is there any road 100% served by LTs by as many as or more than 5 routes?

I believe Westminster Bridge Road would beat it with 7 (76) were it not for the 53, 344 & 360 - there is actually 6 on Westminster Bridge (you forgot 159) |

Not sure about the most but amongst major interchanges / bus stations, North Greenwich bus station has 0! |
