/breaking the code:

ELC - Canada Water

ELP - should have been R for Rotherhithe? Is ELR already taken?

Sure, I'd figured out as much but nonetheless I think that using letters
is potentially confusing - with two EL* buses calling at Canada Water bus
station and two EL* buses stopping on Whitechapel Road outside Whitechapel
station. Maybe my assertion that it'll be confusing is quite wrong, as
using letters rather than numbers will be easier for passengers and will
differentiate them from normal bus routes.

Regarding ELP - I presume ELR was not used as ELR is also the abbreviation
of "East London Railway",


Of course - good point - not ideal to have two uses for one abbreviation...
