X68 might need to be given more than one ride, as the drivers take whatever route they feel is quickest on the non stop section from West Norwood to Waterloo!!

Add the N41 and N136 to the 'nine club', also the N171 which has eight journeys into London, but ten towards Hither Green, so manages to be both less frequent and more frequent than the N28 etc., but with the same number of total journeys each night.

Are passenger numbers available? Do we know what is London's least popular bus route, overall and per bus?

Only TfL would introduce a new bus route utilising five buses along roads never before served by a bus during a lockdown period with ‘Stay At Home’ messaging and while having no agreed funding in place to keep the organisation afloat beyond the next two and a half weeks.

I’d be tempted to forget the mobility bus title and include the 969 in this list. It’s the least frequent route that’s open to normal passengers.

"open to all passengers" might be a better expression.

In pre Covid times I regarded the 347 as personal transport from the stop conveniently situated at the end of my road in Upminster to take me to a monthly meeting in Gidea Park. After the meeting ended I would hasten to the stop right outside to await the last bus of the day, shortly after 4pm!
I look forward to the day when we can resume these social meetings again.

Hi Bob S
Aint it a shame that Swan Libraries is no more :) I'm in Manchester for 30 years, but still make it down to see Mum and Dad who live within spitting distance (not that spitting is a good idea at the moment) of your house.

Enfield isn't off limits by law, only by guidance.

I presume you knew that. You seem very risk averse.

I've worked out that you could travel on all of them end to end in one 15 and a half hour day if you really wanted to. Sadly not in order of rarity though!

TfL had the 456 information on their site on Saturday, so that was good.

The timetable is a bit of a mess, departure times slide throughout the day, though on M-F from North Middlesex Hospital there is a consistent run from 07:57 through to 13:27. The frequency is 'hourly' on Sundays, but rarely 60 minutes apart. Departure times on Saturdays are completely different to Mon-Fri, but at least the last times are consistent over the seven days.

Oh, and the 456 doesn't serve the bus station at North Middlesex Hospital because there isn't any room.

347 in my old area too and always remember the distinctive smell of Swan Library - luckily residents in Clay Tye Road have this lifeline.
