Default Route #726 to be replaced with new #X66

I was thinking, if Bus Route 729 is improved to a Hourly Monday to
Saturday or Sunday Service that will cover up the Bromley side in
part as the 726 goes through Hayes. If Route Number 725 is Free and
available run services, again hourly From Sutton To Bluewater via
Beckenham, to cover up the loss of 726 Bromley to Croydon, and gives
Beckenham a link to Bluewater without having to change busses. OK
two services per hour Express service Sutton to Bluewater may sound
a lot. BUT at least there is a feader route into the X26 or X66
Croydon to Heathrow service.


Unfortunately for your idea, Route 729 is apparently being withdrawn
from 20th March. As it is, it only runs on Saturdays, and only about 2
or 3 journeys in each direction.
