I wondered that, but it is Elland-Ripponden so not really 'from Brighouse'.
I'm going to try the 627.
Well done.
Nope. Starts from Brighouse as the E7, gets to Elland, then depending what hour we're in turns into an E3, E5 or E6 for a circular around Elland then turns back into an E7 to continue to Ripponden.
In the other direction just runs as the E7 all the way (and so is 24 minutes quicker takin 44 minutes instead of 68!).

87 (formerly 77A)
I will admit, I had to check the map to see what the new number was. But I felt sure the former route was the 77A.

Wasn't the former 87 usurped by the extension of the 5? Speaking of which, how have I never travelled on the TfL 5?
Anyhow, let's try this one.
This route starts a short distance south of England's newest city (but still within the council limits) and for part of its journey follows a route through the city that was introduced on a trial basis in the mid-2000s. Said trial was not successful, but the route was picked up by a different operator anyway (but not the operator that runs the route today). It is the only route in the area not served by the area's dominant operator that serves both of the settlement's two major hospitals. The number used by the present operator is the same one that has been used for the longer route for many years, as opposed to the diversion it now uses which had a different number.

That would be correct. I had forgotten I had posted that.

Struggling to think of one, this might be incredibly easy:
An Arriva route in Wrexham not run by Arriva Wales.

Yes, you are right.

Floor taken
I start in Elephant and Castle, cross the river, then go to one London termini formerly served by Networkers, and then head towards a site were there was a protest against capitalism. I then cross the ancient boundry of London, before serving another main London station. I then terminate at a London Overground/DLR interchange station.

Not my favourite route in England - TfL's 100.
I have a slight anger with this route owing to its operators and the relationship they have had with my father. And this goes back to June 2006, so it's not new. The one time I travelled on it I could not stop thinking about the event I am referring to, which among other problems ruined a holiday he and I went on (the only time I had been into Cornwall until earlier this year) - and would have invovled a Court trip for us both had they refused an appeal of ours.
(Before you ask, they would have been the defendants, not us.)

Correct, your floor.

This route starts in the centre of Birmingham and has a very long route by NXWM standards. It runs to a fairly high frequency and covers not only Birmingham but also two of the other major centres in the West Midlands area, and also one area whose name is easily confused with a similar but more prominent facility nearby. It would take a brave and/or foolish person to do the entire journey though - there are numerous faster (and cheaper) alternatives available, including among others Virgin Trains services.

The 126 is correct.
Its the only bus in West Midlandshire that I've actually used 
This bus starts at Piccadilly Gardens, and runs 6 trips for the full route in a week, in one direction only. There is a much more frequent service running both ways to a place along the route. It is operated by Stagecoach Manchester.

Yes I did, after I realised that I had put the wrong number down for the route that I was thinking of - I had originally put 9 Birmingham - Wolverhampton by mistake, and quite a bit earlier than anyone else tried to post.

I saw both, so I didn't mind.
For the record, I've only used it (and then only in the city centre) and the 49. Both of which were related to Challenges (although the 126 was post-Challenge).
