14 - The Harrods (just because it passes the department store, while the store also uses this number for its signature tea blend)

Or route 66 - the route to get your kicks on. Similarly, route 50 the Barbados route. The song Barbados features the lyric "I've seen too much of Brixton town in the night", then albeit many years later route 50 was diverted away from Brixton. |

49 Chelsea Tractor 23 El Porto 228 Grover 85 Highwayman K3 The Good Life I consider route 49 to be the August Bank Holiday route. At the age of 17 I was so taken aback by news of an RM on route 49 toppling over that I rode it later that month, on the August Bank Holiday. I then saw if not rode it on some subsequent August Bank Holidays as it intersected with several other West End routes with Sunday & Bank Holiday variations. I even rode it on August Bank Holiday 2021 as it provided a convenient connection, and I preferred it with Abellio to its imminent revised operator RATP. I was of course unable to ride it on August Bank Holiday 2019. Leaving aside the technicality that I was not in that area of London, that was the day of my Metroline and Go-Ahead London feast.  |
