Also can be flipped and said what garages in London have every route which passes them run by the company which also runs the garage? If the 50 ran past BN, then BN would be a candidate as all other routes either terminate or run past it. AC is a winner - everything it runs terminates there whilst the 260 & 302 passes by the garage |

What garages in London are there where none of the routes which pass the garage are operated by the operator out of that garage? One off the top of my head is Silvertown where the Tower Transit on the 473 and Stagecoach on the 474 pass it but Go Ahead themselves have no routes which do. Also can be flipped and said what garages in London have every route which passes them run by the company which also runs the garage? None of WJ routes pass the garage although the 187, 206 and 226 run pretty close to it Every EW route passes it’s own garage AH runs E2, the only route that serves it |

AC is a winner - everything it runs terminates there whilst the 260 & 302 passes by the garage Although both those garages have "foreign" routes passing them - 266/N266 at AC, and several Abellio routes plus the 57 at BN.
Prior to losing the 266 last year Metroline (including Metroline West) ran all of the routes passing both AC and W.
Arriva run both of the routes that pass SF (318 and 349).

Camberwell Green must hold the record for the most routes with the same changeover point because of Q & WL I include the 484 as well however it is not a live changeover. 12 35 40 42 45 68 176 185 484 The 335 is the only route in the Network using Ferry vehicles from the route terminus to a TFL meal break Facility which is Eltham Station |

All AV routes apart from the 696 and 697 pass the garage. |

Since it’s tucked away in an industrial estate, no routes run by GW serve the garage.
The 204 is the only ON route not to pass the garage.
Before HD lost the H12 every route they ran passed the garage. Now they have the X140 and 186 neither of which serve the garage.

The 249 gets a good sharp left turn from Streatham High Road into Mitcham Lane, an almost 360° turn at that That's a good one, I believe the old traffic island that used to be there was hit on multiple occasions to the point they simply left a yellow temporary bollard on the island at one point lol Yes that was indeed the case |

What double deck routes have the most challenging turns. I wouldn't say this one has a challenging turn, more of a challenging road, but the 403 and 412 on Sussex Road (especially from Croydon) have to travel past cars parked on both sides blindly, with only a gap in the middle of the street for the bus to give way to the oncoming vehicle. How TfL permitted this, but not 10m buses on the 463 I don't know. (I know DE's have gone on the route recently, but it isn't allocated them). |

TfL haven't got much option other than to permit it as it's the only way round the low bridge....... when the 412 was single decker it went under the low bridge towards Selsdon to reduce the problem. |
