Has London ever had any bus routes whose outer terminal operates on the

suspect not because such "frying-pan" shaped routes don't tend to lend
themselves to having sufficient layover time to recover from
London-type congestion delays. Maybe some of the services which don't
venture into Central London run on this basis?

I don't know about buses going in both directions round the loop, but
there are loads of routes with a large loop at the end with buses going
in just one direction round it. There's the 60 and 434 in Coulsdon and
the 466 nearby in Caterham to name but three near here.
