[edit] All filed under 0

The convention of filing articles using the full-three-digit version of the route number (eg. 'London Buses Route 1|001') results in a rather odd-looking category page, with routes 1 to 99 mysteriously filed under '0'. Given that most of the best known (and hence most likely to be written about) routes have one or two digit numbers, then it is going to lead to a very skewed index too.

I'd suggest that filing under the left-zero-truncated version of the route number (eg. 'London Buses Route 1|1') would give a better, if less mathematically precise, index. -- Chris j wood 15:29, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Curious

What will happen when you have two or three bus routes with the same number but run through different areas of London? Simply south 16:09, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Each route is individually numbered. Mrsteviec 19:48, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other bus routes

Are you only covering current bus routes? The Hertfordshire bus route 242 used to run to Barnet and beyond but now only runs between Potters Bar - Cuffley - Cheshunt - Waltham Cross. (Also will you eventually be covering all bus routes, for example 298,299,313,184..... probably) Simply south 22:47, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I will try to cover ALL bus routes.I'm only covering current bus routes at the moment. Once that is done, I'll do London's night buses and then I'll have a look. I've already started work on London Buses route 242 (Homerton - Tottenham Court Road Station)--sonicKAI 11:26, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 84

I thought i'd start a bus route but instead of going under '0', it has gone under 'L'. Please fix this. Simply south 19:50, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

This is great work, but I am wondering if all of these route match the notability requirement for wikipedia articles. Lgriot 16:46, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
