Yesterday, I did the 222, 350, 423, U2, U4, U5 & U7 end to end. This means I've rode all the U network routes end to end and all TfL routes that run through Uxbridge end to end.

The 222: Interesting route, lots of wide roads for decent running and the ADE's are quick

The 350: Another route with fast sections, the ex Connex Tridents are lovely as ever. Not many people seem to use it though.

The 423: Takes an age to just leave the perimeter of Heathrow Airport, was packed from Terminal 5 to Hatton Road North and from Hatton Cross to Hounslow

The U2: Goes through some lovely looking places such as Hillingdon. End to end is quite short despite taking a around the houses route to Brunel.

The U4: Long and slow, thank goodness I was on a Trident. So many narrow roads and awkward parked cars

The U5: Decent route, another round the houses one which serves the deserted Stockley Business Park

The U7: Boring route, the roads are rough around Charville Lane.

The 423 could do with a frequency increase.

Indeed although, I've done the route a few times between Sutton and Roundshaw in the past so you could say I was also using past experience too

I did the 81 today. It is the best scenic route in London. Really enjoyed the journey to Slough today on it.

If you want proper scenic try the R5/R10, R8 or 464

On Saturday, I did the 60, 80, 151, 280 & 407 end to end.

60: Traffic can bog you down on London Road and through Croydon but once you hit Brighton Road, its a nice ride. Beyond Coulsdon, there is some lovely scenery and a very steep climb towards Old Coulsdon.

80: A winding route but seems to be sparsely used between Culvers Avenue & Morden Station. Not as long as I'd thought it would be.

151: Another winding route and another that seemed quicker than it should.

280: A fairly straight route but one that sure snaps up custom

407: A long route which seem like it goes on forever - still the scenery south of Purley is nice to look at.

Today I did the dreaded 129 end to end a lovely route but very short I wish it was a bit longer. I particular liked the bus only roads between North Greenwhich and the Sainsbury's.

Completed the 93, 151, 154 and 213 (spot the connection)

93 is a nice straight forward route, quicker than I thought to,
151 and 154 have plenty of twists and turns, down streets with plenty of parked cars
213 had a few traffic hotspots in the New Malden area.
I like the unusual Olympus/e400 combination the main ride on these routes, also had the odd PVL and the delightful ex MW WVLs
