Default Fantasy bus routes

1 Extend the E1 to Yeading White Hart
2 Extend the E9 through the Downe Manor Estate (Down Way/Townson
Avenue) through to Charville Lane Estate3 Terminate the E3 at
Turnham Green Church (avoid the Chiswick High School kids)4 Reroute
the 140 back to Mill Hill and put the 114 back to Harrow Weald

That's a few for starters

If you had the power to add/change/remove bus routes, what would you do?

There would be four changes I would make:

1. 35 - Shoreditch to Clapham Junction. I'd extend the Shoreditch end
to run
to Hackney Central and truncate the Clapham Junction at Brixton. So
there
would now be a link between South London and Hackney.

2. 345 - Peckham to South Kensington. I'd reroute this at Brixton so
that it
runs along the route of the changed 35 to Clapham Junction

3. 197 - Norwood Junction - East Croydon. I can't see the point of such
a
short route. I'd extend this to Thornton Heath.

4. 80 - Hackbridge to Belmont. This is one crazy route which meanders
all
over the place - a shame, since Sutton seems to have very few links to
anywhere. I'd keep the section from Belmont to Sutton, then reroute the
rest
of the route via the route of the 407 up to Purley Way, then the route
of
the 289 up to Thornton Heath, then the route of the 109 up to Streatham.
