There would be four changes I would make:

3. 197 - Norwood Junction - East Croydon. I can't see the point of
such a short route. I'd extend this to Thornton Heath.

The point, I suppose, is to provide a service for the Morland Road and
Woodside Green areas. Just out of interest, what route would it take
to Thornton Heath? Even if it was made into a single-decker service,
to get under the railway bridge at Portland Road, it would have to
take a roundabout route to reach Thornton Heath.

It would be extended from East Croydon via George Street, Wellesley Road,
Poplar Walk and London Road to Thornton Heath Pond.
