I did Ilford to Tottenham Court Road in 94 mins in Summer 2018. Was quite a slog, stopping at nearly every stop but amazingly quite surprised how quick the journey felt. I certainly can see how it was no longer viable thou from Oxo to Ilford. Even cutting to TCR would have made it more manageable and might just have attracted some end to end demand for people wanting to save money. If I'm honest back in the 2000s the 25 should've been split into layered routes, perhaps a 25 between Ilford & Aldgate/St Paul's/Bank and a 425 between Stratford & Oxford Circus, however this would've meant we wouldn't have got the 205 out to East London and the 425 wouldn't have existed out to Clapton. I wouldn't be surprised if one day the Ilford route only went as far as Aldgate similar to how the extreme ends of the old 63/68/133 now only make it as far as Elephant (333/363/468).

I re-done the 242, 343 & 388 today having previously done them end to end in their previous forms Meant to mention but routes remaining (not counting night, mobility or school routes) to be completed are: A re-doing: 40, 55, 110, 324, 383, 384, EL1, H22, R1 First time: 456 I’ve always found doing night routes quite tedious / tough (struggle to stay awake post 2pm; frequency drops quite significantly on most routes). Don’t think I will be getting anywhere close to completing those

Don’t think I will be getting anywhere close to completing those I've not bothered to go after night routes or school routes whilst the only mobility routes I did do were the 931 & 965 AND I'll only do the 969 when it's final day is announced whenever that may be in the future

Do you have to do it in one go for it to count? For example I've done the whole U1 just not on the same day

I have time constraints so honestly as long as I do the route in full I don’t care in how many parts I do it. A lot of routes I have done in one go but I must admit there are some routes which have been done in multiple parts. The N15 for example I have done in 4 separate instalments spread over 5 years (I have done Trafalgar Square to Aldgate East several times between 2014-17, did Aldgate to barking in 2015, Oxford Circus to Aldgate in 2019 and Romford to Canning Town in 2019!). Some other local routes have received the same love (25, 205, 135 etc) spread over many years although to be fair I did the 25 and 135 a few times fully after having done them in parts)

Not the most scenic imo but it's decent, I'd say above average It's a lot better than a lot of routes than run in Northwest/West London True the areas it serves are generally decent, only area that looks a bit rundown is South Harrow, generally quite fast too, not that much traffic

Don't really use a variety of routes and have barely done end to ends. Here is my list:
9, 10, 90, 105, 111, 116, 117, 120, 203, 222, 235, 237, 285, 345, 482, 490, 635, H25, H26, H91, H98, C3, RV1, X140
Only end to ended the 9, 120 and H91.
Probably missed a route.
