The Furthest Distance on a £1.50 Bus Hopper

Hugo's here! Which means its BUS FUN times, and using the Bus Hopper fare (unlimited bus and tram travel in 70 minutes) he'd devised a route which should let us take a bus, tram, bus and travel for 26 miles across London, for just £1.50! Is it possible? Would we make it? We started in Orpington ...
Thanks to Hugo @theorangeone for his busisstance!

The 353 has an interesting history, as it wasn't originally a London Transport service! It was started by a minibus firm called North Down Travel back in the seventies, the firm's owner realising that there wasn't a link from Orpington-Croydon, so applied to LT for permission to start one. The firm ultimately became Tilingbourne before passing to Metrobus who would ultimately sell out to Go Ahead. It wasn't until recent years that the 353 became a fully fledged TfL service!

[@IainG81]

That was great. Thanks Geoff and Hugo. Trams are awesome

[@QALibrary]

In Milton Keynes, there is a "regular" bus service that runs every Thursdays on the 5 week of the month - I believe this will be the lest used bus service in the UK

[@Lee5p33dy]

There is a similar situation in Devon, the Tavistock Country Bus 112 (every fifth Saturday, April to September). It is a 16 seat minibus. If I have worked it out right in 2019 it would only operate two return journeys (four trips total) which makes the total possible ridership figure 64 people.

[@neiljones2206]

What one

[@rea8585]

That is some serious budgeting! I love it 😀

[@CS_22]

The bus you had on the 353 was a Scania Omnicity. These were withdrawn from service by Go-Ahead, but because of the Orpington garage fire, which the 353 is run out of, they brought these old buses back. These are now withdrawn as of September, and are probably in use elsewhere in the country.

[@SouthernTransportFan]

Yes, Juniper Hall would definitely be a contender (as well as North Downs Way)

[@annoyh669]

You should do the shortest distance between bus stops. I nominate Catford Bus Garage (BN) to Bellingham Road (BQ) as it is about 80 metres, yet both are quite frequently used.

[@fetchstixRHD]

That's probably one of the shorter distances, I would say. I'm sure I've seen some shorter ones but can't remember where...

[@nathanw9770]

I live not too far from there. The journey is well under 10 secs. I'd say that Bellingham Road gets way more passengers than Catford Bus Garage though because it's by Bellingham station.

On the least used bus stops here are a couple of contenders.... Both stops because of the fact they are within close proximity of the next stop which is more strategically placed... First is Riverdale Road on the 269 and 132 towards Bexleyheath and secondly Europa Trading Estate on the 99 towards Woolwich which is like two bus lengths away from the better positioned stop for the industrial estate at Birch Walk!

[@chazzboi1009]

No way!!!! Route 108 bus stop East India Dock Road is very busy especially at the moment as the 108 is on diversion. It is definitely not the least used bus stop. I believe a contender would probably be Aintree Cresent on the 169 heading to Clayhall.

[@davidosilverman900]

I've often used that 108 bus stop, it serves Tower Hamlets Town Hall and takes commuters under the river. I'd say Warwick Terrace Stop C on the 53 is pretty well redundant, it's half way across the common and there's a stop just before Warwick Terrace and one just after the bus turns into Plumstead Common Road. My favourite seat is the one just behind the CCTV monitor.

[@paulbowden7462]

When I was a student in Birmingham I also had a student rail card. One year BR (as was) did a special offer a ticket that was upto £25 was £5 and anything over £25 was £10. A group of us decided to see how far we could get for a £5. We rocked up to Birmingham NS and we decided to goto Windermere. Remarkable value and a good time.

[@patrickovsiu]

0:35 I guessed the place before the notation 1 second later, because 5 years ago a certain blogger wrote about the memorial on the screen being excessively passed by. 10:03 The funniest thing is that the best runners can actually cover the same distance on foot in less time. If there's a London Marathon covering much of the X26 route I would think about it seriously.
