A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

Was that the route with the bike attachment bus? does it still run?

A strange one is the G1 (Streatham-Battersea) where the G stands for St
Georges Hospital.
What does the P in P4 (Brixton-Lewisham) stand for?

& one other why did the southern bit of the Station Link get 705?


Originally it was going to be 900 - in the Mobility Bus sequence.

It has been numbered 705, as

7XX - limited stop sequence (only other service is the 726)

X05 - ties in with 205.

Before that, 500/600 was the trolleybus series. Where a trolleybus
route replaced a tram route, the last two digits remained the same (so
if tram 14 became a trolleybus, it would be 514 or 614).

or both. Usually for routes with terminal loops, 5xx working one way
round, 6xx the other.

However, there with 5xx and 6xx combinations that were independent of each
other and in different parts of London. This is mainly because tram route
numbers were never rationalised after the merger of undertakings into the
LPTB.
