A bit of a twist; are there any consecutive routes which come close to meeting/crossing paths but don’t? For example, 196/197 at Norwood Junction and 59/60 at Streatham/Streatham Hill 14/15 at Piccadilly/Trafalgar Square 42/43 around the City of London Area 7/8 at OXO/TCR |

For example, 196/197 at Norwood Junction and 59/60 at Streatham/Streatham Hill 201/202 come very close around Crystal Palace and West Dulwich. They do not come close at all but they are not too far apart from each other. |

293 and 294? Both terminate right in opposite extremities, the former even outside the London boundary You also have the 292 which also terminates outside of London on the opposite side to 293 Not sure if this has been mentioned already but the 166 and 167 are some way apart. |

The 12 & 13 are separated by Oxford Street unlike a few years ago when they wererunning together for a distance between Oxford Street & Trafalgar Square. The 13 & 14 cross each others path at Hyde Park Corner but don’t share the same stops The 14 & 15 are separated by the small section of road between Piccadilly Circus & Trafalgar Square The 73 and 74 are one to also file under the 'once used to cross but no longer do' (or in this case even used to run the same corridor). |

104/105 - Heathrow to Beckton 105 is actually closer to the non TfL 104 between Uxbridge & High Wycombe which is also operated by Go-Ahead with Carousel Buses than the TfL operated 104 between Startford & Beckton. |

Not sure if previously mentioned but 313 and 314 being Potters Bar and New Addington seems a fair distance
Also N8 and N9 being Hainault and Heathrow could be a good distance
Perhaps 279 and 280 being Waltham Cross and Belmont?

The 279/280 reminds me of a post by Diamond Geezer(?) a few years ago, North to South London borders in four buses using the 279, 76, 77 and 280 |
