Bus Route Maps
I am obviously doing something stupid again, but I don't suppose I am
the only stupid person in the world. Is this just me that can't look up a bus route map by bus route on the TfL site? One is invited to put something in a text field, with the wording "Find bus routes Route no, postcode, address, landmark or station" No matter what route I put in, even if I put in "route n", it takes me to number n London Road somewhere in the London area. Eg if I am looking for the 25 and enter "25" it takes me to 25 London Road, Epsom, with a map of route 406. If I put in "route 25" it takes me to 25 London End, Beaconsfield with a map of route 331. |

It doesn't seem to do what it says on the tin. The only way I've found is to enter somewhere on the route, such as Stratford Broadway for the 25, then scroll down the list of routes on the left side, unhelpfully listed in white on light grey, and click on the one you want. -- Richard J.

Strange - when I enter 25, I get a map of the entire route. I do find the site a bit tricky to use, though. You may have more luck with an unofficial site, www.onabus.com |

I have had the same thing happen to me whereby it tries to find addressess. You then try again some time later and it works correctly. I have no idea why it happens - my initial encounters with this "error" were in the very early days of the maps going live. I had assumed it had been fixed. -- Paul C via Google |
