Have you omitted the #84, New Barnet to St Albans?

The section between Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road wasn't served by that many routes historically, my 1978 map just shows the 1, 7, 8, 25, 73 & N89.
The 1952 map by Mike Harris lists the 7, 7A, 8, 17, 23, 23A, 25, 73, N89 - the 23A was a Sunday only service.
In contrast the November 2003 map lists the 7, 8, 10, 25, 55, 73, 98, 176, 390, N7, N8, N10, N25, N55, N73, N98, N207 all operating every day/night.
The section between Selfridges and Oxford Circus was always busy, in 2003 the map lists the 6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 15, 23, 73, 94, 98, 113, 137, 139, 159, 189, 390 plus the N6, N7, N10, N12, N13, N15, N23, N36, N73, N94, N98, N137, N139, N159, N189, N207.
The 1978 map lists the 1, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 15, 59, 73, 88, 113, 137, 159, 500, 616, N89, N91, N94 plus Green Line 710, 715, 716, 735.
I don't have access to every timetable (for example post the 1982 cuts), but the new Mon-Sat daytime frequencies on the 7 and 9 might be amongst the lowest ever.

434 still only goes to Whyteleafe South though there is a proposal to extend it to Caterham.

Lots of interesting bus news here DG.
I remember going out to Epping on Sunday mornings on a single deck TD 250 using a Red Rover ticket available until 1pm.
The 324 extension enabling patients to access the hospital at Stanmore from the Station is a positive whereas the number of frequency cuts elsewhere will only encourage more people to use private transport

The increase in the number of services on Oxford Street from the middle of the 60s onwards was due to:
1) the 1966 Reshaping Plan and the introduction of Red Arrows and shortening of routes:
16 >8B,616,16A.
2) In the 1980s, a direct result of the 'Districtisation' of London's Buses, splitting those routes with more than one operating garage (district) into two or more, with overlapping central sections:
(6 > 26), 8 > 98, 53 > C2, 73 > 10,390, 88 > 94, 137 > 135, 159 > 139 and so on.

I know it sounds tedious, but it would be such a good idea if TfL would provide a Bus Map!

N9 - checking the timetable on the graveyard site
here the route operated every 30 minutes nightly out to Heathrow prior to November 2005.
Most of the higher frequencies on the night routes don't have the same depth of heritage as their daytime counterparts, and as you know, many had already been reduced in frequency due the weekend tube and I suspect 'Uberfication'.
I'll go away now.

This is why I never, ever travelled by bus in London.

This means the NW bus corridor up the Finchley Road now has no one bus connection to Oxford Circus.
And tube also requires a change for most of that corridor (direct to Bond Street though)
Yes, you can get a one bus service from nearby corridors but that's a significant change.
PAYG Santander bike is now the better option (availvle from St. John's Wood), reducing TfL revrnue

The 411 actually goes from Kingston Bus Station to West Molesey. Update for the London buses that exit London table.

The bus map for March 1939 shows 16 routes between Selfridge's and Oxford Circus (6 7 8 12 13 15 17 23 23B 32 48 60 73 88 12 137), plus 25A 25B & 25C east of New Bond Street. The route list shows service intervals varying between every 2 and 12 minutes, and a rough calculation gives a total of approximately 300 buses per hour in each direction, or more than 3 per minute.

I've added an iPlayer link to Summer Holiday because BBC2 showed it this afternoon.
Lots of Aldenham at the start.

Actually, to be really pedantic, the 466 goes to Caterham-on-the-Hill and doesn't go to Caterham. Two different places though close in distance - but not in height.

More inexplicably, so is Lauri Peters - the co-star.

The 107 goes out of Barnet towards Borehamwood in both directions - is it the only route whose termini are both in London but which has a substantial non-London section?
dg writes: also the 331, R5 and R10.

I believe the 324 leaves London from LB Harrow but enters via LB Barnet as the borough boundary runs along the centre alignment of Brockley Hill

I don't know what you have referenced, but both the 411 and 216 start from Kingston and neither visit Richmond.
