If you had the power to add/change/remove bus routes, what would you

Duplicate the busiest section of the 3 (i.e. Brixton southwards) with
a new route numbered 433, if that's not already taken, in the same
fashion as the 2/432 - probably terminating at Anerley Station.


This would mean truncating the 3 at Herne Hill. No point in having a
needless duplicate when you can double the frequency on a route instead.

It always seems unfair when waiting at Brixton that Streatham gets about
1000000000 bus routes, West Norwood gets a handful and Herne Hill/West
Dulwich get 1.5, both of which are smelly, overcrowded and operated by
amateurs...


I think the only other sections of road that seem to have a higher number of
routes than the A23 Brixton-Streatham must be the A215 Walworth Road or
Oxford Street.

Also, re-join the two halves of the 63 (ie 63 and 363), with some
short workings Crystal Palace - E&C and Kings X - Blackfriars (as
discussed elsewhere!) if necessary.


No - I think the split is a good thing. Shorter journeys mean more reliable
journeys.
