I’ll start the stream of pedantic corrections. ;-p
I think bus 97 does escape Waltham Forest as it terminates at Stratford City in Newham. (It was extended beyond WF when Westfield Stratford opened).

The 33 and 209 are confined to Richmond while Hammersmith Bridge is closed.

The 325 very briefly enters Barking and Dagenham on the A406 and has one stop Quay Road. In the borough.

The data is "drawn from 33 lists on the TfL website which aren't entirely up to date", so I'm expecting to make several corrections throughout the day. That's four so far, thanks.

West Ealing to Greenford, Romford to Upminster and Stratford International to Beckton are single borough rail routes.

Does the 141 count as a sixer? Start in Enfield (just, at Palmers Green Garage) and then visit Harringey, Hackney, Islington, City and Southwark. I'm only looking at a map on a phone, so I may very well be wrong.
(I was looking because I thought it could be potentially counted as being a different number depending on whether you're southbound or northbound, because of the boundary running down Green Lanes, but turns out there's a solid little bit where it's Hackney in both directions at the bottom of New North Road)

The 326 is 10 miles and stays entirely in Barnet (something I've very much been aware of travelling the majority of the route from home to school twice each day for five years).

Strictly speaking the 386 route extends into the London Borough of Lewisham as the first and last three stops on the route at the Blackheath Village end are in that borough rather than in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.

Densest bus network. Is this calculated by squaring the total length of routes, and dividing by the area of the borough?

When I was a kid the 88 was great for a long trip, and if I recall correctly passed through 7 boroughs after departing from Mitcham Cricketers on its way to East Acton.
Merton - Wandsworth - Lambeth - Westminster- Kensington & Chelsea- Hammersmith & Fulham - Ealing.

I was going to say that surely the H9 & H10 also stay within the borough of Harrow, but having been warned never to risk a surely I double checked and it seems that Northwick Park Hospital is just on the Brent side of the boundary!

List of routes that stray outside London boroughs?

141, 326 and 386 updated, thanks.
It's becoming increasingly apparent that TfL's lists are incomplete and out of date. The lack of any up-to-date bus maps hasn't helped either.

EL2 is interesting as it appears to stay in Barking & Dagenham in one direction but not the other as the boundary with Redbridge runs down the middle of the road.

B15 enters Greenwich, and the 358 manages to just about stay entirely in Bromley.

The P12 enters Lewisham when it serves Honor Oak Park before terminating at Brockley Rise.

I'm impressed by the tortuous journey of the S4. That's a 4.5 mile journey direct by road sprawled into 11 miles. I wonder if we can figure out the London bus that exceeds a direct journey from A->B by the greatest percentage.

The eastbound 358 stays entirely in Bromley; westbound however, although all of its bus stops are there, spins through three other boroughs approaching Crystal Palace.

B15, P12 and 456 updated, thanks.
The 358 would be the longest route within a single borough (15 miles!) if only it started one stop away from Crystal Palace bus station.

> The 61 is... the lowest numbered bus route to stay within one borough.
No, 33 is a lower numbered bus route that stays entirely within one borough

33 - if the division between boroughs runs down the centre of the road, does it stay in one borough, if the answer is yes for the 33 then the same rule means that the 206 never leaves Brent.
Waltham Forest - 212, 357, 379, 385, W11 and W16.

So after all that I get to take the 33 out again.

The H25 ends at Hatton Cross which is just in Hillingdon so leaves Hounslow. Alternatively if it remains then the H26 should be added.

Removed, thanks.
And undoubtedly still more errors to be found.

The 33 definitely stays in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames throughout its route at the moment as it starts at Fulwell Bus Garage and terminates in Castelnau.
