Default Bus Route Maps

I am obviously doing something stupid again, but I don't suppose I am
the only stupid person in the world.

Is this just me that can't look up a bus route map by bus route on the
TfL site?

One is invited to put something in a text field, with the wording

"Find bus routes
Route no, postcode, address, landmark or station"

No matter what route I put in, even if I put in "route n", it takes me
to number n London Road somewhere in the London area.

Eg if I am looking for the 25 and enter "25" it takes me to 25 London
Road, Epsom, with a map of route 406. If I put in "route 25" it takes
me to 25 London End, Beaconsfield with a map of route 331.


It doesn't seem to do what it says on the tin. The only way I've found
is to enter somewhere on the route, such as Stratford Broadway for the
25, then scroll down the list of routes on the left side, unhelpfully
listed in white on light grey, and click on the one you want.
