615 next? Or 292?

Surely the 107 is next, a very unreliable service when I lived along the route.

If it was the 615 DG wouldn't have needed to go beyond Stanmore to get it, and could have used the H12 instead of the detour via Bushey. And the 142 only meets the 292 at Edgware, rather more than two stops beyond Stanmore.
It is surely going to be the 107.
Given that it's the only bus to cross the river Lea upstream of the North Circular Road, the 313 looks inevitable in the near future too - but are we going via Barnet or Potters Bar?

Given that Watford has flooded, what other flooded areas can DG expect to encounter?
Would the River Lea flood?

The 107 is the only bus from Stanmore(ish) to Walford.

Tesco are clearly so chuffed with their Watford store that they've had Google in to do a Street View tour: http://bit.ly/1cM68lK

Wow, you took the 142 almost exactly 3 years after the Ladies, while they have just released the blog about their last bus trip...

"retail hub whose aspirational heart is dragged down only by a much more popular Lidl"
No, Waitrose customers do their mid week shop at Lidl/Aldi, get with it DG.

And if you can get along the Old Redding, you can visit a car park with the most amazing panoramic view of London, watch planes come in and out of Heathrow, see the Shard and the (insert sponsors name)-Eye... The arch at Wembley, the temple at Neasden... all laid out before you. But of course a car park is just a car park, so round it off with a swift one at "The Case Is Altered" next door.

I think the car park next to 'the case is altered' was one of Stan Collymore's favourites!

Ah the 107 - once all the way from Queensbury to Enfield, alas no longer.

What for East London I wonder ???????????????????????????????????????

According to the NE bus map you can get from Potters Bar to Lakeside in just three buses if you time it right. Is that too obvious a route for DG?
timbo | 13.02.14 - 11:16 p.m. | #

@timbo, I can't see any way to do it in less than 4. By the "time it right" I suppose you were thinking of the 575, which was curtailed to Romford a few months ago.
I think dg should at least go to Waltham Cross and Enfield Island Village, as well as Harold Park.
Debden and Passingford Bridge are outside London so they could be skipped.
I don't know if this was part of the original remit but in addition to the X80 I would also travel along both banks of the Thames up until the first TfL crossing, the 108 (actually the Dangleway comes first I think)

The first TfL crossingof the Thames is the DLR at Woolwich, and then the ferry. Between the dangleway and the 108 bus also comes the first (of four) Jubilee crossings. The last is the R68/411 at Hampton Court, although n the olden days the 218 (now the non TfL 468) used to cross at Walton and there were "green" LCBS routes out as far as Windsor.
The NE London bus map does indeed still show the 575 going all the way from Epping to Lakeside. The other two were the 313 and X80.
DG is staying close to the border, not coinfining himslef to it, so Debden is as good as Enfield in that regard.

I wonder if DG is going to be mad / brave enough to opt for the 347 in order to skirt the eastern border to Ockendon and then pick up the 370 to Lakeside? If yes then that'll take some scheduling given the splendid 2 hourly frequency!

I got some strange looks when taking the 347 - it's another one of those where the driver knows everyone

DG at my bus stop. Who'd have thought it!
