Default Fantasy bus routes

15: I'd extend this to Canning Town. Why Blackwall station? It's a
bizarre place for the route to end with the only interchange being to
the DLR. If it continued a few minutes more to Canning Town then you'd
have interchange with loads of buses and trains, making it much easier
for people to continue their journey.


There will be a need for a service across the Lower Lea Crossing once
the new Leamouth footbridge is constructed. Extending the 15 would
probably be the ideal candidate for that; the only alternative seems to
be the 277 which goes off to serve Tower Hamlets Town Hall et al. After
the Crossing it could then head up to Canning Town; it's doubling back a
bit but not too much.
