Following on from London Bus Routes One By One: 1-100 and London
Bus Routes One By One: 101-200, this third volume in the series
explores what used to be the old London Transport's
highest-numbered block of routes. These numbers were once reserved
for single-deck services, but the weight of post-war expansion soon
filled in the sequence. As in previous volumes, a potted history of
each route is accompanied by a list of points served and one or two
pictures of the kind of bus that can be found in service today. The
pace of tendering and Transport for London's imperative towards
emissions-free propulsion has meant increasingly rapid turnover of
bus models, which are expected to last the length of two full-term
contracts of seven years before replacement. Illustrated with over
190 color photographs, this volume represents an up-to-date
snapshot of the fascinating modern London bus scene as it stands in
autumn 2021.
