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?

Thanks to everyone that replied to this.

The information has turned out to be much harder to come by than I'd
imagines. Somewhere I have a series of information sheets sent to me
by London Transport in response to a letter I sent them in about 1980
full of that sort of stuff. Somehow, I expected there to be a
modern-day equivalent on line somewhere (which appears not to be the
case).

However, the pointers you've all sent me have been very helpful and
thanks again.

Longest routes are often cross boundary commercial services but they
aren't TfL routes. 465 or the X26 look like reasonable candidates for
the current crown.
I've also had suggested (off group) the N20 from Oxford Circus to Harold
Hill as a contender.
