Here's my list of route ideas and extension plans that have never emerged from the TfL incubator into reality.
W19 extension to Aldborough Hatch 306 from Ilford to Woodford Bridge 228 Horn Park to North Greenwich (part replaced by the 132 extension) 330 extension to Canary Wharf E10 / Ell extension to Chiswick Business Park 223 extension to North Wembley 323 extension to Portelet Road Rumoured routes to run into Dalston Junction Bus Station that never progressed beyond the developer's Transport Strategy. W16 to Stratford City (part replaced by 339 extension)
Please feel free to add to my list as I can't know all the schemes that have been considered and abandoned.
EDIT -
U10 to Uxbridge Industrial Estate plus increased frequency / longer hours

415 extended to Surrey Canal Road from Elephant & Castle That one is not officially scrapped because it depends on the start of work at Surrey Canal Road. That's delayed because of legal issues between Milwall FC and Lewisham Council. The revised bus routes will be funded by the developer so it's likely they will happen and not be subject to TfL's own budgetary issues.

406 to Fulwell was planned in 2002 together with a frequency increase, pvr was to be 10
43 was to be extended somewhere around that time as well, I'll check when I get home (stupid Content lock)

This thread has inspired me to do a thread in the same ball park as this!

I'm sure I recall seeing a bus map with the 157 being diverted back to Norwood Junction and the 197 extended from Norwood Junction to Crystal Palace. Not sure what happened but the 197 was then extended to Peckham replacing the 312. 155 extended to waterloo - I'm sure I read something like this before

(Very handy when I was living at Stockwell)

I believe there were plans to extend the 3 to Anerley, which was instead done by the 249.

I recall a proposed route 228 from either Greenwich or North Greenwich to Eltham I think and maybe further. There had been a 228 in that area till the 80s so I guess the number was recalling history

There had been a 228 in that area till the 80s so I guess the number was recalling history Think the proposed routing was what is now the 129, North Greenwich - Greenwich, 386 Greenwich - Blackheath, 202 Blackheath to Lee, then on to Eltham. EDIT: Found this on an archived version of londonbusroutes.net 228 Proposed new route, Eltham Green to North Greenwich via Westhorne Avenue, Lee, Blackheath, South Street, Greenwich, East Greenwich, Horn Lane, North Greenwich. (070902)

Just found a list of proposals from 2003 to 2004 mainly of new routes being created along side existing ones like the 436 & 453 for example. But the interesting one was the proposal to renumber the Crystal Palace to Brixton section of the 2 as the 332 (it instead was renumbered 432).

- 85 was planned to be extended from Kingston (Fairfield) to Seething Wells but that fell through.
- K2 planned to extend from Hook Library to Mansfield Park replacing K4.
- 125 was planned to be extended from Winchmore Hill to Enfield.
