Yesterday, I did the 485, E3, E5 & E6 end to end. Now the E9 would of joined the list but it decided not to show and time was getting on so I bailed and headed home.
The 485 goes through some scenic parts such as Putney Common & Barnes itself which looks very 'villagey'.
The E3 was so long & dreary - I was touched to see so many yellow ribbons for Alice, the missing girl from Hanwell. They stretched right up to Greenford.
The E5 was interesting - it uses many back roads including a small loop to serve the Havelock Estate and it serves the Medway - the less famous one of course lol. Southall was terribly annoying with the usual tons of traffic.
The E6 was a nice route after Greenford - it's also very busy between Greenford Broadway & Hayes & Harlington. No one wanted Bulls Bridge Tesco other than me which I found strange. I found the same thing with the E5 & Perivale Tesco.

Your "coloured in" bus map [1], showing which routes you've done, must be pretty densely covered by now?  I've got almost all of the Ealing routes to do barring a bit of the E10. [1] what do you mean do you don't have a coloured in bus map!?!! |

Now that you say it, I got curious and looked at what Ealing routes I've got left to do - it turns out I've just the 65 & E9 to do - easy peasy lol. |

No, but I know someone who does. I have a spreadsheet which may or may not be worse than a map. It depends how you define 'worse'. Personally I'd have a map if it wasn't for the fact I've only 2 or 3 routes fully. |

No, but I know someone who does. I have a spreadsheet which may or may not be worse than a map. I have a Word document listing bus routes I've been on and then bus routes I've done end to end so your not the only one lol. I've also got a Word Document showing me what routes Ive never used at all. |

I've also got a Word Document showing me what routes Ive never used at all. I achieve the same result with a spreadsheet with the three options that you use - "in full", "in part", "not at all". It's easy to apply a filter to the data and count the numbers in each category and go on from there. |

Did the 32 and 340 end-to-end tonight. The 32 is pretty boring. Its just one straight road from Kilburn to Edgware. I wanted to get a TA, but then I saw a TE and saw how much of a rush the driver was in when turning round at Kilburn Park so I ran for this one.
I quite like the 340. Not too fast...not too slow...just a nice ride.

I also forgot to mention that I've done the T32 on a round trip from Addington Village to New Addington then back again, it was operated by 189 (YY13VKO)

The 32 is horrific, all you do is just sit in traffic until you pass Hendon Broadway. I always seem to get the slow drivers too on that route lol. |

Just done the 107 and 307 end-to-end this morning for fun. Took the 107 from Edgware to New Barnet, then walked back to Barnet Hospital and took the 307 to Brimsdown. Both very scenic routes, really enjoyed them.
