Excluding 24 hour routes, What bus route can you ride the most often in one day end to end. I reckon the 379 is a contender The 389 is currently the shortest TfL route but only runs hourly off-peak so you won't get that many trips in. The 288 used to hold that honour when it was just an Edgware - Broadfields shuttle and you could do two rounders an hour on either of the buses but it's now been extended and is much longer. The 379 would be a contender as you can manage two rounders an hour all day if you so wished but the shortest route within London is the Here East shuttle at Stratford nominally route 847 at just 7 minutes long. As a private contract it doesn't fall within the TfL ticketing arrangements but you can probably manage two rounders an hour. The 346 is another contender upon which you can manage two rounders an hour with a run time of around 10 minutes each way. I'm not sure which of the 346 or 379 might be shorter but there's not a lot in it.

Some passengers serious liars.
I am heading to Golders Green and a guy runs across the road, he then comes to me and says what's going on with the 226s I have been waiting 20+ mins at that stop there, pointing to cricklewood Broadway stop.
I said just saw a 226 going to Ealing Broadway 4 stops back which was around 3 minutes ago, so it's not possible you have been waiting 20+ mins for a bus!
He couldn't even say anything, just got off.

Is there any borough in London (excluding the city) where there isn't a bus garage Either Kensington & Cheslea or Westminster are contenders - not sure which one Westbourne Park is within. Interestingly Sutton is one of the smallest of the London boroughs yet has amongst the most bus garages.

That would be Kensington & Chelsea. Postcode for Westbourne Park bus garage falls under Westminster. EDIT: If I am correct you could also add Camden to the list, as Kings Cross has shut shop while back?

I'd say that Redbridge comes very close, Stagecoach's Barking garage lies just within Redbridge

I’m sure Cricklewood garage is on the Brent side rather than Barnet.

Yes Cricklewood is on the Brent side but I'm fairly sure the other side is Camden, rather than Barnet, anyway. The other side of Edgware Road opposite W is Barnet. The east side of Edgware Road doesn’t become Camden until the junction of Richborough Road with Edgware Road just south of Cricklewood Broadway

Is the EL3 getting an extension? At Barking Riverside station there were tiles for the EL3 and on tfls maps it showed to be terminating where the EL1 terminates

Information for routes is available here : londonbusroutes.net/routes.htmThats an interesting development after 20 or so years of giving school extensions their own 6xx series number.
