This is a bit of fun only so no descending into "I love the NB4L / I hate the NB4L" arguments please.
To date the NB4L has been concentrated on radial service that serve Zone 1. Here is your chance to please the Outer London politicians who want NB4Ls in their areas. Nominate a suburban service where you think the NB4L could sensibly run - one that needs double deckers, which has high boarding rates and where a hybrid design would improve the environment. It doesn't necessarily have to run in crew mode, full OPO routes would do fine.
Suggest away.

The 109 - it currently uses DD's, it has a high boarding rate as I mentioned when the report came out and would improve the environment along the A23 corridor which is quite often choc-a-bloc with traffic |

Verging on the word suburban some may say but the 5 and 86 would do well with them I think.

53/453 and 188 would be my candidates, and also one of the 36/436 routes possibly.

298  Just kidding... maybe the 182 could use them... but IIRC there's some pretty tight turns around Neasden. NB4Ls on the 263 might be cool... |

Just wanted to nominate my local routes Out of them, only the 47 and 188 can possibly take NB4Ls. 47 - Serves Central London but the turn along Friendly Street, Deptford may be tight for NB4Ls. Also the turn into Surrey Quays Shopping Centre may be tight aswell. 188 - Also serves Central London but the turn into Surrey Quays Shopping Centre may be tight for NB4Ls. 199 - Obviously can never be an NB4L candidate and the roads in Pepys Estate are quite narrow for them. The hill towards Evelyn Street, Deptford (from Pepys Estate) is too narrow for NB4Ls and there are badly parked cars along there aswell. N1 - Serves Central London but the turn into Lynton Road (towards South Bermondsey Station) may be a bit tight for NB4Ls. Also again the roads in Pepys Estate are quite narrow for them and also the hill towards Evelyn Street, Deptford is too narrow for NB4Ls and there are badly parked cars along it. N47 - Serves Central London but there may be a few issues around the Bromley Common or Petts Wood areas but I'm not too sure on that. |

Am going to stick to the area that I know, and define 'suburbs' as 'not zone 1'. So...
96, 136, 177, 180, 321 (though current terminal arrangements at Foots Cray wouldn't be conducive to NBfL).
