Routes 127, 412, 312, 130 (2 hours 18 minutes) The temptation is to put my return off for another couple of days. Winter has snapped into action, the big coat has been forced out of the wardrobe and the prospect of four buses through south London an...

Route 44 (56 minutes – photos to follow) It’s just one bus today, but that at least is one more than has been possible lately. Blame the rota man at work, but this is my first outing for a while and I’m now behind the run-rate if I wish to...

Routes 108, 241, 309 “So, do people think you’re a bit of a nerd?” says Adrian as we wait for the 108 outside Lewisham station. Rather a loaded question considering we’ve only just met, but I agree. People do think I’m...

I’ve never taken the No 14 to Epwood. I don’t think it falls within tfl’s remit. It actually runs through Southpool in the district of Bekonscot, which is a delightful and insanely detailed model village out near High Wycombe. Thoma...
