Em, I think they may be living in the past here. Put in "65" for bus route and you get it running from Ealing Broadway to Chessington World of Adventure. All the 65s for the past 15 (perhaps even 20) years from Ealing Broadway have terminated at Kingston. In fact if you use TfL's Journey Planner they tell you to take the 65 to Kingston and change to the 71 to take you to Chessington Zoo,sorry, World of Adventure. Ooops.

Almost brilliant. Not much use if your nearest "stop" is hail and ride as these get ignored even though after further searching it is obvious it knows the route taken.

@HoosierSands....
Except the 65 does run to Chessington at NIGHT.
The 267 does (almost) the opposite... listed as Hammersmith to Fulwell but the map shows Hammersmith to Hampton Court which runs summer sundays only.
The 271 is shown with the evening and weekend extension to Liverpool Street Station.
Pick a route that doesn't exist, say 695 and it decides you mean "695 London Rd, Sutton, SM3 9"...
The East London Line replacement bus ELW is not listed but London Overground replacements UL1 & UL2 are....

It's quite clever but not every route has a timetable available at present. There appears to be no logic as to why a route does or does not have one. I assume TfL will fix that in time. Also the stop specific timetables are horrible as they rarely give you the real time a bus is due. As you point out it also retains the notion that people only want one route at a time and are not bothered about interchange - this occurs with the spider map concept. Thank goodness the real bus maps are still there albeit lurking via a link at the bottom of the page. Oh the "Buses Real Time Disruption" page has also been updated and has a different look and indexing - not sure the indexing works for me, anyway.

If you don't know which bus you want, you can also right-click on a particular road, then 'search for routes near here'.
