Default Bus route numbering

I don't know if Wood Green or Walthamstow gave their W to the W* buses
though.

Back in the sixties (I was there, so presumably am not supposed to remember
it!) Wood Green contributed its W to prefixed routes followed by a single
digit. Walthamstow's W was always followed by a two digit number beginning with
2.

Therefore, strictly speaking, I suppose Wood Green was regarded as "W" by 55
Broadway and Walthamstow was "W2".
