I would propose a route that goes cross north-west-north london as i don't think we have enough of those and they would be very useful, this could go from willesden, bus garage to Walthamstow via: -Kilburn - South Hampstead/ Swiss Cottage - Chalk Farm -Camden town - Holloway - Finsbury park -Manor House - Seven Sisters -Tottenham hale -Walthamstow central bus station View AttachmentWouldn’t the traffic in Camden Town kill the reliability? Thats what i was thinking aswell, however hopefully with ULEZ expanding it will kill a bit of the traffic and a willesden-camden link is very useful and links camden to walthamstow, tbf i was planning to make it go through highgate but i didnt want to dulpicate the 260/460 corridor from willesden to golders green and the main roads are very vertical so, this was the most direct way, but could be shortened to seven sisters or finsbury park

I also made a revised route that doesnt go through camden town, but it is longer but has good links: 12 miles long -Willesden -Kilburn -Swiss Cottage/South Hampstead -Hampstead -Highgate -Muswell Hill -Hornsey -Turnpike Lane -West Green -Tottenham Hale Attachment Deleted

Some fantasy proposals in the SW London area: Option 1: Extend 337 in both directions Twickenham St Margaret's Richmond East Sheen Mortlake Barnes Putney Wandsworth Clapham Junction Clapham South Clapham Park Streatham Hill, Telford Avenue
Option 2: Extend 213 to Sunbury Sunbury Hampton Hampton Court Hampton Wick Then Existing 213 to Sutton
And in north London: Bring back Route 10. Then extend it terminating outside Arsenal FC. (To remind Arsenal fans of the time when they lost 10-2 on aggregate to Bayern Munich in 2017, so the bus will say 10 to (2) Arsenal every time in that direction. Sorry to anyone who supports Arsenal. Route would also be rerouted between Hammersmith and Knightsbridge to Fulham Broadway to link Arsenal and Chelsea football clubs, and also to remind Chelsea FC fans of the time when they finished 10th in the league in 2015/16, especially when the bus says 10 to Chelsea FC:
Route: Fulham Broadway Chelsea FC Chelsea Sloane Square Knightsbridge Hyde Park Corner Marble Arch Oxford Circus Tottenham Court Road Russel Square Euston King's Cross Angel Highbury & Islington Arsenal FC
The route would display 10 to Chelsea despite terminating in Fulham
Again sorry to anyone who supports Chelsea

I think that's why it's in this thread rather than the other one - this one has always been meant for a bit of a laugh in all honesty.

Thinking about the 10 I proposed, it doesn't sound that bad tbh, though it's a bit long and parallels the 19 quite a lot.
I know this sounds a bit ridiculous, but seeing as it's just a bit of fun, could we even have Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho driving the bus in the Arsenal and Chelsea directions respectively? (Because they were the managers who caused those two events to happen)
Potentially if this happened, the 19 and 11 would swap west/south of Chelsea, and the 19 cut back from Finsbury Park

Extend H20 from Hounslow to Hayes, Botwell Leisure Centre via 120 to Norwood Road, 195 to Hayes. Also change the Ivybridge destination to Mogden Sewage (though this would be unpopular with locals) Reason: H20 (H2O) means water and the route will be linking two places where there are water!

Changes in the Brent Park area: 232 withdrawn between Brent Park IKEA and St Raphael's and extended to Alperton Sainsbury's via 112 to Stonebridge Park and 224 to Alperton Sainsbury's. To link the Piccadilly line in North and Northwest London. 224 withdrawn between Alperton Sainsbury's and Stonebridge Park and rerouted to St Raphael's to make a circular route. Route would operate in the clockwise direction only (St Raphael's - Harlesden - Park Royal - Stonebridge Park - St Raphael's). Renumbered 224A New circular route numbered 224B from St Raphael's to St Raphael's via existing 224 to Brent Park Tesco, Great Central Way, South Way to Wembley Stadium, old 224 to Stonebridge Park via Alperton, NCR to St Raphael's. This route would operate in the anticlockwise direction only (St Raphael's - Brent Park - Wembley Stadium - Wembley Central - Alperton - Stonebridge Park - St Raphael's). The reason why these routes are one way routes only is because the road between Stonebridge Park and St Raphael's can only be accessed in the direction of St Raphael's. Benefits: Still maintains the link between Wembley Central, Alperton, Stonebridge Park, Harlesden and Park Royal to St Raphael's Here's a map: Both circulars would start and terminate at St Raphael's, due to stand space being freed by the 232

I would remember them 224A and 224C though just to let the passengers know what direction it’s going similar to the Inner and Outer Circles in Birmingham. I don’t know if extending the 232 all the way to Alperton is a good move considering it’s a long route already.
