We've had a thread for aircraft, so why not buses?
I've been trying to keep a record of all the different types of bus, and all the different numbers of route, I've been on. Although I can't comment on the former at this stage (I shall give it a try in due course), I can say that between numbers 1 and 30 (including prefixes and suffixes, e.g. 7A and X14 for 7 and 14) I have been on a route that has had every number apart from 16 and 28, both of which are absent from Bath and peak-only in the Southend area; I have also been told to try without London, in which case the famous 11 may be out as well. Beyond 30, the set becomes slightly more sparse in the 30s, but then becomes flat again in the 40s (Bristol and Chelmsford both have large numbers of 40-series routes).
Sad I know, but I wondered if anyone else might want to give it a go, both including and not including London? Obviously some numbers are harder than others; can anyone else claim the numbers 418 and 419 for instance?
Just to clarify, the number is the bit that matters. A route numbered A1X would be treated as 1.
