    Trivia: Transport for London's most remote bus stop

    What's the most remote bus stop on the TFL network? I reckon it's Pilgrims Way served by the 246, as the nearest bit of civilization is about 30 mins walk away.

    What do people think of this news clip from the BBC? It's incorrect as the 64 will stop when the lower deck is full and play the announcement "There are seats on the upper deck" until people move up. The 433 is another great example of a bus that's too small for the route. It often gets full...

    I'm really enjoying the new 433 buses (Caetano e.City Gold). It blasts up the steep and windy hills much better! But for some reason the information displays sometimes don't work, typical technology :rolleyes: However, I think there are less seats in the previous models.

    TFL route 433 seems to have 3 different buses running it: Caetano City Gold, Alexander Dennis Enviro200 and Alexander Dennis Enviro200 MMC. Does anyone know the passenger capacity for each as I'm worried the newer Caetano City Gold has less then the older buses?

    Charged wrong fare on bus that's part of the £2 scheme

    I've been travelling a few times on Cuckmere Buses. According to the Gov website they participate in the £2 fare scheme. But I just realized been charged £4.20 for each journey. Are they in the wrong?

    Why so crowded on the London Buses X26 at 5am?

    As others have suggested pedestrian access or a tram.

    Why so crowded on the London Buses X26 at 5am?

    That's insane. What happens if a family miss their flight? This really puts people off travelling to the UK. If you can't even get a bus to the airport from your hotel!

    Why so crowded on the London Buses X26 at 5am?

    My family and I decided the best way to get for our morning flight was taking the X26 at 0517 from East Croydon. We all thought it'll be empty at that time in the morning with plenty of room to put a carry-on next to each of us on a pair of seats. But we where shocked and horrified when the bus...

    Trivia: Least used bus stop in London on a regular served route?

    I was thinking the other day, I've never seen anyone use the stop Addington Road / Pumping Station even though there are buses every 10 or so minutes off-peak. This is served by regular 314 and 353 services. Or maybe Baston Road / Croydon Road which is served by the 353 and 146 every 20 or so...

    It seems that the start of the 185 is now at Victoria Station (Stop E), rather then previously Neathouse place. Is this a permanent change?

    Seat locations on the bus from worst to best

    Every bus passenger knows there’s a clear hierarchy of bus seats. But which are the worst and which are the best? Up front near the driver - Not only are you at risk of an old person squeezing in your seat and telling you their deeply-prejudiced views on Strictly, you’re exposed to every...
