All routes must be full TfL routes and not commercial services.
1. Name a route allocated double deckers with a daytime frequency of 30 minutes.
2. Where would you find three consecutive bus stops serving three separate Undergound stations?
3. Name a pair of routes which meet briefly with each other four times.
4. Name two routes with a frequency of less than 90 minutes (a route which uses different numbers for each direction does nor count).
5. Name a pair of routes which use the same vehicle (i.e the bus changes its route blind at the end of each journey).
6. Name a route that uses double deckers but does not serve a National Rail station.
7. Name a route that runs over cobbled streets.
8. Name a route which has designated "passing loops" which must be strictly observed.
9. Which bus has all* bench seats in both the upper and lower deck saloons?
10. Which class of bus has all* high backed seats in both the upper and lower deck saloons?
*With the exception of seats in the wheelchair bay.

Name a route that runs over cobbled streets. 5 = R5/R10 - I think both use the same MPD 7 = 350, A10, U5 in Stockley Business Park though streets are more brick work.

1) 406
2) I think it is in Cannon Street, Bank, Monument area but I can't think of which route
3) 65 and 371 (Eden St Kingston, Ham Cross Roads, Petersham, Quadrant Richmond) and both routes meet out of service to turn at College Roundabout, Kingston but approach from different roads (does a 5th out of service meet still make this a valid answer)

As with the qiuz set by Tangy, would it not be a good idea for attempted answers to be given to the person setting the quiz by Private Message? We have had similar attempts to set a quiz by members before, and whilst not making any comments on this particular attempt, the knowledge of the acccuracy of the questions, let alone the answers, has often come into doubt, which then exacerbates the problem!

Indeed and I can see a potential problem with question 10, to which vjaska answered "Metroline TA's". All very well except thats only two thirds of the class (TA82-117) - the rest (TA66-81) have standard Fainsa Cosmic seating, and bench seats long before that. (I'm assuming vj was not referring to the 6-series batch) I'm not aware of any other class of 'decker in London with similar high-backed seats on both the upper/lower deck either, so is there an actual answer to no.10...

4. Name two routes with a frequency of less than 90 minutes (a route which uses different numbers for each direction does nor count). 347 and 375 5. Name a pair of routes which use the same vehicle (i.e the bus changes its route blind at the end of each journey). EL1 and EL2?? 7. Name a route that runs over cobbled streets. 474.

They are Lazzerini seats and I guess would be regarded as either dual purpose or coach style seats
