I need to talk specifically about the 969 as a local to that route: it should not be withdrawn. Unlike the 347 which only has a unique section between North Ockendon & Upminster, where there aren’t too many houses, the 969 serves many neighbourhoods that no other bus route serves. Despite its extraordinarily low frequency, it does get some decent passenger usage. It is the last mobility bus route in London (there used to be several, including a 953 in Havering that was withdrawn sometime in 2010 iirc). Geoff Marshall has a very good video on the 969 bus route which I do recommend checking out.
3 of my comments right on thumb is crazy 1:52 the last school possible is hall mead but no one’s ever ran to ingreborune in 2 minutes where it leaves at 15:17 The only possibility is having a couple status which can get u early(base for 3:00 or School runner for 3:10)to run it succesfully 2:48 recording that SN60BZX visual upstairs left so little room downstairs was packed 3:58 don’t mind me just yapping 4:33 it has a diversion via Park lane (Hyde park) before so would be nice if they kept that 7:51 and they actually managed to withdraw the diverted 23 and rerouted it back classic TfL 3/4 of the video being my thing is crazy
Yh it does leave kinda early from Upminster before their schools finish (I actually used to go to one of the schools there but I’m not saying which one!) Interesting take on Central London though, TfL does change the routings of Central London very frequently! 118 does have some use as you said!
