Hello,
What do you think London's most boring routes are for Drivers?
Boring in the sense they are boring to drive all day and is just generally not an interesting route.
Mine are- T32, too short! Duty card just seems never ending! 404, Would be boring to drive all day R9 415
PSS

The PSS is a spelling error, not a route !

Off the top of my head I'd say the 25, 36, 109, 111, 158, 255, 284 and 415.

Duty card just seems never ending! 404, Would be boring to drive all day R9 415 PSS As I am not a bus driver I don't really know what would make a route boring. Any suggestions? I can see why a short route going back and forth with few passengers could be boring. However a long route with lots of varying traffic conditions and lots of passengers - like the 25 - I probably wouldn't count as boring. It's clearly never going to be the case that every route allows "rally car" driving down country lanes at more than 30mph! (I'm assuming this would be termed "interesting" ;D )

As much as the 415 is a pointless route, you can get journeys on there that are quite quick so for that reason, I wouldn't render it boring.

20, 25, 26, 38, 171, 205, 212, 215, R3 and any other route operated with restricted B9TLs is boring IMO and DB300s, unless its a different vehicle like a DLA or a PVL.

It's clearly never going to be the case that every route allows "rally car" driving down country lanes at more than 30mph! (I'm assuming this would be termed "interesting" ;D ) I don't find very many routes boring though I have to say the 25 probably is one of them! Nothing particularly interesting happens on the route, it's mostly crawling along and getting stuck in traffic, and not many varied areas are served - all heavily urban bits of Central and East London. I find the 36/171 quite boring for the same reason, especially since the 36 lost its excellent PVLs. Off the top of my head I'd say the 25, 36, 109, 111, 158, 255, 284 and 415. The 284, boring? 284 is not a boring one for me and neither is the P4. IMO the P4 is one of the best journeys I've done.

Also any day route which has no fast sections is boring that's my opinion.
