Bus numbering

Central bus routes were 1 - 199, single deck routes 200-299, country buses north of the Thames 300-399, south 400-499, trolleybuses 500-699, Greenline routes 700 - 799. AIUI there is a system whereby when routes are split up they get prefixed with a 3 and the route spawns a school bus that gets a 6 at the front. For example the 71, 371, 671 and the 29, 329, 629 3xx or 4xx. I thought that beginning 3xx or 4xx implied that the route wasn't direct. It certainly seems to work that way in practice. Like the 484, which seems to visit every single house in south London while going nowhere much. And a 3 something which I got on at Queen Elizabeth Hospital to go a very short distance to Woolwich centre. I think it went via Margate. |
