Default Fantasy bus routes

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

In the Sidcup/St.Paul's Cray area:

Extend route R1 to Footscray Tesco
Abolish route R11, increase frequency on B14
Introduce new route (with "mobility bus" type vehicles): One way loop
from FootsCray Tesco to North Cray, FootsCray, Sidcup Hill, Sidcup,
Queen Mary's Hospital, back to Tesco. This would mean that nobody would
lose their one seat ride to QMH and it would reduce parking requirements
at Tesco (provision is inadequate unless they've made some big changes
in the last 16 months) though some slight road alterations (or a second
exit) would still be needed there, as exiting traffic can't turn right.

I'd also make some changes around Orpington, but until I find the
current map, I can't tell you what.
