I think merging the 194, SL7 and 278 into one massive route would be very useful. I think many people would greatly benefit from a direct bus service from Bell Green to Ickenham, especially since it's partly express. Similarly, the 405, 468 and 363 should be merged into a single route. It's just what everyone was waiting for: a single bus route that goes from Redhill to Crystal Palace via E&C. My final words of wisdom: merging the 347, 86 and 25. It would drastically improve the public transport connections to Ockendon Station, whilst also removing the entirely unnecessary overlap between the 25 and the 86. I am going to assume this some type of joke!

So where's the part where you give us some routes that should be merged exactly? |

It would drastically improve the public transport connections to Ockendon Station, whilst also removing the entirely unnecessary overlap between the 25 and the 86. basically, a 5 minute service to Ockendon, from a basic 2 hourly service? The overlap of the 25 and 86 is entirely necessary considering how busy all three routes that run along the length of Romford Road (25/86/425) are. You'd need a frequency of at least every 4 minutes to match the current required capacity on Romford Road, giving a PVR of just the City Thameslink to Romford section of 52. A further extension to Ockendon would require single deckers unless you're planning on removing the low bridge in Upminster. This would probably need a frequency of every 2-3 minutes to come anywhere near close to the capacity needed on Romford Road would give a PVR of around 106. Or, you could just leave it all alone |

A few ideas
Merge H98 and 278 to have one whole route from Hounslow Bus Station to Ruislip as these two routes follow exactly the same routing from Harlington Corner until Hayes End. Would be similar to the old route 98 that used to run down there
Extend 427 via current 120 and divert 120 via H32s line of routing.
Merge routes H11 and H17 together to have one longer route. Both routes take around half an hour each end to end so merging them wouldnt be a bad idea
Cut back route H14 from Northwick Park until Harrow and extend via the 395. Not sure if 395 could take deckers however the H14 is a waste of deckers anyway. A high frequency on the new merged route would be better.

Ruislip-Hounslow would be too long to run reliably, and would also break some of the 278's links to/from Heathrow. However I think you could reduce that corridor slightly by sending the H98 to Charville Lane, replacing part of the 195. The 195 could then maybe reroute at Hayes to terminate at West Drayton via the 350, and the 350 revied to operate between Uxbridge and Heathrow Terminal 5 (following the 222), creating a new direct link here. |

Those arent some bad ideas however I would just completely withdraw 350 and extend U1 down to T5. U1 isnt too long as it as and the extended route could be done in under an hour. Also why wouldnt an extension on the 278 via H98 yo Hounslow run reliably? The current 278 is not too long and while it would mirror 222 and 81 it could provide support for those routes. |

The H14 is busy and replacing them with 9.7m single deckers will just make it overcrowded. |

Also SL9 would still share stops between Hayes Town and Harlington Corner |

Also SL9 would still share stops between Hayes Town and Harlington Corner But the SL9 is a limited stop route and doesn’t serve all the stops you need the 278 to stop at the stops that the SL9 don’t stop. |
