I'm trying to find some basic bus information, along the lines of "What
is London Buses' longest/shortest bus route?" How many buses are in
London Buses service, that sort of thing. I thought there'd be a page
somewhere on the TfL site but a trawl of it (and Google) hasn't turned
up anything very reliable-looking.

Can anyone here point me in the right direction?


http://www.londonbusroutes.net/details.htm

has the PVR for weekdays plus length in miles and kms.

The shortest routes look like the 389. 399 or the 507. Longest (in
recent history - i.e. the 1990s) used to be the 107 when it ran from
Brimsdown to Queensbury. There are debates still raging about the
longest ever LT Central area route on other newsgroups!



I'm pretty sure that the 398 is the shortest route and that the 465 is
the longest route.
