Following on from London Bus Routes One By One: 1-100, London Bus
Routes One By One: 101-200, London Bus Routes One By One: 201-300
and London Bus Routes One By One: 301-969, this fifth and final
volume in the series takes a look at the route numbers with letter
prefixes. They derive from the Reshaping Plan of 1966, whereby
established trunk routes were broken up, and their outer sections
turned into feeder services linking interchange hubs or Underground
stations. As these new routes were intended to be operated by
flat-fare buses, it was decided to distinguish them by using letter
prefixes based on geographical area. Flat-fare operation proved
unreliable and was soon dropped, though the lettered routes
remained, and the system was applied to the normal network when it
came time to further sectionalise bus routes because of London's
insurmountable traffic. As in previous volumes, a potted history of
the routes and their routeing details are accompanied by up-to-date
colour photographs showing the buses that operate on each route.
Illustrated with over 190 colour photographs, this volume
represents an up-to-date snapshot of the fascinating modern London
bus scene as it stands in the latter half of 2021.
