Is Leyton Downsell Road still used? Yes, it is no longer a terminus but it has been retained for curtailments. |

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure the 150 and EL2 no longer terminate at Becontree Heath Bus Station. Instead, they now seem to terminate at the Leisure Centre, and wait on Althorne Way, not all that different to the old arrangement, minus the Bus Station. This also means the historic terminus of the 5 (prior to 2006), and the 129 (now 128) is also gone. ..and before that, the terminal of the 23 and 25. I haven't been that way for a while, but the stand will eventually become a block of flats |

the 3 has changed a lot. at first it went to oxford circus. then it was withdrawn between oxford circus and piccadilly circus in early 2015. then it was withdrawn between piccadilly circus and Trafalgar square in mid 2017. then in late 2018 they proposed to withdraw the route between Trafalgar square and Whitehall which eventually happened in mid 2019 and started using the stand the 53 was using before it got cut back to Lambeth north around the same time. in early 2023 it got changed again but this time it was more of it being rerouted then it being cutback even though it was cutback to Lambeth north it was extended Victoria via the old 507 route which was withdrawn with the 521 and replace by multiple routes. my opinion is that the it was way too similar to 159 so I like the way they cut it back and rerouted but I wish they did it earlier. also there was a proposition in mid 2017 for the route to be extended from Trafalgar square to Russell square but this never happened even though it would've been really cool. It reached Camden Town for many years, and even reached Parliament Hill Fields in 1981-84. It was only when route C2 was introduced in 1987 that route 3 was curtailed at Oxford Circus. |
