Lol its my favourite route

@jackcooper384 6 лет назад

May I also point out that the RV1 has got hydrogen buses running on it which means that there are no emissions from the buses on this route. Also the number 15 is/was operated by original route master buses on it.

@cityhacksLondon 6 лет назад

Good to know - thank you ;-) Syrus

@intercity4553 6 лет назад

The 15 uses the old heritage routmasters

@discogareth 6 лет назад

All good choices. I've always liked the 453. Marylebone to Deptford Bridge along Regent Street, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalger Sq, Westminster amongst others.

@ivolloxy3030 6 лет назад

35 - Clapham Junction to Shoreditch is good for people who want to see markets in London

@teknekon 6 лет назад

Really well done Syrus. Super helpful! Thanks so much! Love and cheers! 👍💗😘🇬🇧

@voxley19 6 лет назад

For tourists wanting to get out of central London and into the countryside, the 465 from Kingston to Dorking is ideal. You can pick this bus up at Surbiton station which you can get to by train from Waterloo. And you can use your Oyster card for the whole journey.The views from the 465 between Leatherhead and Dorking are fantastic. As I always say, there's nothing like a ride on a 465!

@nathanw9770 5 лет назад

Or the 320 from Catford to Biggin Hill Valley which goes through scenic places like Bromley common and Biggin Hill Airport

@tou7331 5 лет назад

or x68 then 405 or 407 or 466

@AWildSnowball 2 года назад

Some other good routes include 331, A10, U9 and for someone who likes airports, 490!

This is the best video you made so far in 2018, i LOVE LONDON BUSSES since i was little so keep it up. great video

@mr51406 5 лет назад

I was in London in August. Very helpful vid! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ Indeed i took the 11 from Chelsea to St. Paul’s... but we got diverted onto the Embankment. No problem! But I didn’t see Syrus, unfortunately... ❤️ I got to take the 205, N version, from Mile End to Tottenham Court Rd. Quite a ride through the labyrinth of the City buildings. Definitely take the bus to Tate Britain! Do take any route on at rush hour, and ALWAYS sit in front upstairs. Especially Oxford St! Best, wildest, cheapest ride you’ll ever take! Like being on an elephant going through a field of cats and not stepping on any of them! Those bus drivers are amazing!

@yaowsers77 Год назад

this is exactly what i was looking for. an alternative to the hop on hop off buses! you're awesome...thanks!

@dalegardner9038 Год назад

New subscriber here. Love the personality you put into your videos. They are always full of helpful info for this London newby (coming over Sept 2022) with a little pizzazz added in!

@martinhd3705 6 лет назад

Cyrus, we took a lot of advice from your videos while visiting London last year. Now this one is great information and I am afraid we will have to return to take the advice from this video too.

@wotchermuch 6 лет назад

Love your work Syrus - this is such a good idea. Gonna check these out next time I'm in London

@cityhacksLondon 6 лет назад

You are welcome ;-) Syrus

@richmck007 6 лет назад

Yess, my man! You have been busy once again! Another fine video on YT! Might I ask you to investigate the number 15 from East London ( I lived in East Ham back in the 80s for a while and remember catching the bus around the area of Mile End or Stratford, can't recall for sure where. However, it was a nice longish scenic route through the East End towards Bank and onto London's Oxford steet and much more. Best of all, the old Routemaster was the ( and I believe still is...) bus which went along that route into Cental London! If you do an updated version of this video, you might want to include the No.15! By the way, that 24 bus route goes all the way to Hampstead which makes for an ideal day out of the West End. And the perfect stroll with a drink when you get off ! Cheers.

@cityhacksLondon 6 лет назад

I know - I love the 24. Thank you for your kind words about the video. Seems to be a popular one. The number 15 stills runs I see it often - will pop it in the next video. All the best, Syrus ;-)

@customtransport2777 6 лет назад

Great video, my favourite bus route is 211 followed by 11, 345 and 135 and my favourite bus model would definitely have to be the New Routemasters! Also my favourite tourist attraction is the Canary Wharf Towers as that's my favourite place in London! 👍👍👍

@tahmedurrahman666 6 лет назад

TheLondonBusMaster135 I like the new Enviro 400.

@TheeKookyWildflower 6 лет назад

The 24's my favorite bus route!!!! Thanks for including it. (By the way, it'll take you to Hampstead Heath, too)

@peabody1976 6 лет назад

The Hopper is one of the best decisions TfL have made. I only wish it were expanded to two hours, since the bus is cheaper than the Tube and is above ground and a great way to see London. (I say two hours because of traffic and making transfers/connections). But great advice and thank you! (I live in an area with an integrated bus system and a two-hour window for free transfers via tap card.)

@mahammad 3 года назад

It’s actually got a 10 min grace period so 70 mins!

@tahmedurrahman666 5 лет назад

Yay! The 205 bus route is my local bus route! Plus I think the 15 bus should have been on this video!

@Kirschmuffin1215 6 лет назад

Great video! I am not from London, but have taken 4 out of 5 of these buses. My favourite bus route is the number 29.

@mohammedsadulla1449 5 лет назад

I think N26 is useful because it goes from Chingford station to Trafalgar Square/Charing cross . It passes Walthamstow market,Leyton library,Spitifields market,St Pauls cathedral,Aldwych and Trafalgar square

@southlondoner7169 4 года назад

205 goes from Paddington to Bow Church

@smach24me 6 лет назад

Route 15 - get on opposite Charing Cross Station and it goes all the way to The Tower of London. A lot of the 15s are old Routemasters. Come back on the 15 and get off at Charing Cross again and stay on the station side and jump on a No.9 to Hammersmith Bus Station and you have seen most of London's sights. Just Google 'TFL route 9' and click on map view. I do this every time it's raining or if I am too tired to walk any more.

@user-wb6uy7dn4w 6 лет назад

Routemasters disappeared years ago

@smach24me 6 лет назад

I was on a Routemaster No.15 three weeks ago!

@cityhacksLondon 6 лет назад

Ahhhh good advice ;-) Syrus

@Smart1529 6 лет назад

You could also put bus route 8 and 25 as another one. 8 Bow Church to Tottenham Court Road and 25 Oxford Circus to Ilford

@Londonproplayer2 9 месяцев назад

@helloworld0911 6 лет назад

The W7 is the most helpful from Finsbury Park to Muswell Hill. Along the way you can find Alexandra Palace and Crouch End and a short walk to Highgate. Perfect for those stalking c-list celebrities...

@mckenzie403 6 лет назад

There some nice bus routes, the 14 Putney to Warren Street. The 19 Battersea to Finsbury Park. The small 274 is also a good tourist route Lancaster Gate for Hyde park through London zoo and Camden Town all the way too Angel Islington.

The 15 is good from Trafalgar Sq to the tower and sometimes it's in a old router master, the 88 good from Camden to Clapham Common, I remember seeing a newspaper page about that route and if I remember right it was in a Australian paper

@cityhacksLondon 6 лет назад

I do love the 15 too - it's like stepping back in time. Syrus ;-)

@raylewis395 6 лет назад

Number 38. Victoria, Hyde Park Corner, Piccadilly (Royal Academy, Burlington Arcade, Ritz, Fortnams) Piccadilly Circus, Shaftesbury Avenue (Theatres!!!); Tottenham Court Road, Museum St (British Museum) ... one of the best!

@thisisstuart7951 6 лет назад

@raylewis395 6 лет назад

stuart balchin The best bit of the 11 was in the days of conductors who could call out “World’s End; next stop: Salvation!”

Busroute 11 is a must if I‘m in London. It‘s sad that TFL stopped the RV1 service years ago.

@londongeneral367 5 лет назад

The RV1 bus Route has been since been withdrawn from service from the 15th of May 2019

@ShawnGBR 6 лет назад

There was a bit of an overlap with the 11 and 24, so I’d have kept the 24 going north and connected it with the 73 (Cavendish Square, Oxford Street, Tottenham Court Road, Euston, British Library, Kings X St Pancras, Islington High Street, Clissold Park for the open air café and the Common in Stoke Newington which was the former home of Marc Bolan).

@Itsmeh939 Год назад

73 is useless just make it withdrawn and 476 and 390 will become busy

Boxill-Harris I was wondering, why coudn't you find a nice fresh shiny Leyland Titan B15's and Repaint them to a Grey Green Color's just like the original Scania Grey Green's which were in the East London bus route's such as 125, 167, 179, 173, 168, 141, 66, 275, 313 and also the bus route 103, if you guy would like to find about 14 Leyland Titan B15's, please could you Repaint them in the Exact Grey Green Bus Color's and put them in EastEnders for all of us because it would be a Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Interesting Buses to see them Repainted to a Grey Green Color's and put them in EastEnders, Because I'am a Big Fan of all of those Leyland Titan B15's😉😉😉😄😄
