The 7037 figure is the highest total for London since 1958 which
was the previous peak value. It is also worth noting that the total
has already increased further and will continue to do so as further
route and frequency improvements are introduced.

Did the 1958 figure include the Country area, do you know?


I've just checked the relevant LOTS [1] supplement. The figures was
for Central Buses and Trolleybuses which is just about the same network


area as TfL today barring a few differences in cross boundary

provision.

Up to a point. Some central routes went a long way outside London in them
days, e.g. the long-gone route 14 Sunday services to Dorking.
