After seeing 4 (yes, 4) 188 buses in a row outside
Surrey Quays today, I was wondering, what is the
biggest number of buses anyone has ever seen in a row?


In the early 1980s, 253s were infamous for travelling in groups of 7, and I
witnessed this myself. Now that the route has been split into the 253 and
254, you probably only get 3 or 4 of each number in a row.

It was still possible for this in the 1990s. I witnessed the 253s in
7's on a number of times, mainly along the Clapton Common part of the
route. At times buses were scheduled every 2 minutes, so it easily
happened.
