The 301 from Hemel to Stevenage via Welwyn Garden City still runs every hour and take at least as long as the 347 used to.

We moved to Croxley just as the Watfordwide network launched so I didn't know about the predecessor local network until I found http://www.eplates.info/ Gotta love the Internet.

Ooh, a cliff-hanger ending! Now we're going to have to wait to see if DG escaped Watford, or decided to immerse himself in the retail heaven that is within instead!

My guess is that you'll be wanting the 142 next.

Practically nothing strikes me as so improbable as DG "immersing himself in a retail heaven". However, if there is one thing he is a master of, it is surprising us with what we thought of as improbable, so who knows?

Perhaps next, 142 from Watford to Stanmore then 107 out to Elstree / Borehamwood.

...way things are going, perhaps next round London venture can be done on 'waterways' instead of buses?

Your capacity for surprise working overtime: setting a false thread by alighting the 331 one stop beyond the last one shared with the (34)8. And then posting just after midnight instead of at breakfast time as recent experience with the U3 would have suggested for this route!
But I should have known you couldn't resist another Cube route - especially one with a namesake so close to home!
A flooded Bushey would seem a good place to take a break and go home, with a one-change Overground journey to Stratford available. But no doubt he will surprise us again.
@Kissenme: 142 and 107 seem likely, but who knows: The 107 (with its erstwhile eastern extension now hived off as the 307) is a useful link for Tube Challengers between the frayed northern edges of the Underground network - Stanmore, Edgware, High Barnet, Oakwood.
Not to mention the links with other loose ends of Oysterdom at Elstree, New Barnet, Enfield Chase, Enfield Town, Southbury and Brimsdown.
Meanwhile, This is the equal second lowest route number (with the R8, and after the U3) and the equal second slowest route (with the R11, and after the 412), so it is not surprising that the average speed and the average route number have both dropped slightly.

"excess bloggage"
"didn't always used to be"
"I think my Dad brought a stash home"
"then forces me to play mathematical swapping games with small coinage to meet my fare"
"We turn off just before wiggling through"
"a bloke with a basket on wheels"
"used to warning of jams near the football"
"I assume there are a few of you still reading"
Mornington Crescent, I believe.

No need to "play mathematical swapping games with small coinage". Let the driver keep "the change" ...then next someone boards "a little short of money" they can travel. A sort-of 'pay-it forward' if you will. A problem turned into a solution.

You could have gone to Harrow Weald and then taken the 258 out to Watford. That would have lined you up nicely for the 142. (And a Swap onto the 107 in Stanmore)
Plus Watford is mostly a island at the moment....

@duke
but you can't get to Harrow Weald direct from Northwood - so that would mean three buses (H11, H12, 258) instead of just one.

The driver's more likely to keep the change for himself.

...I would not. I'd keep a "float" for anyone who is in need and is 'caught short'. But then maybe I just a dreamer...

Very problematic 'solution' - if the driver pays in a cash imbalance (even a positive one) they get into trouble, obviously, otherwise they'd be no track of drivers stealing from the company.
To avoid paying in too much the driver would have to pocket the cash for themselves, which would also get them into trouble.

142 and 107 next?

I also have 40 year old bus timetables in my spare room, so today's post was right up my alley.

"I assume there are a few of you still reading." Oh yes. Incredulous but still reading :)

Ha ha! If I'd have know, I'd have waved at you from my window. Although I think that I'd actually just crossed the road to go down the other way into town past the Irish Club.

A bus half-hourly between Hemel and Uxbridge.....? Well, not quite, but from April, there will be an hourly bus between these points - the 730, which is an extension of the current Carousel A30 from Chesham to Heathrow.
