I would reinstate the 726 to run its original

also extend it to Bluewater. I would increase
the appalling current frequency to something
more sensible like every 30 minutes.

The problem with making the route even longer
than it already is is of course that it will
make the reliability even worse than it already
is.

Wouldn't it be far better to run 2, 3 or even 4
express routes over the Bluewater - Heathrow
route with generous overlaps and better
frequency. Thus if buses were stuck on Hampton
Court Road for 40 minutes (not unheard of) then
people in Croydon would still have an express
route to Bromley.

And have the routes run by someone, anyone,
other than Tellings Golden "worst bus company
in London" Miller.

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

Re route the E3 to stay as far away from Acton
High Street as possible.

Run a shuttle bus with lots of luggage space
and a decent frequency from Feltham NR to all
the Heathrow terminals, thus making the Feltham
Railair a reality rather than another name for
the 285 minibus.
