Numbering of route numbers

Historic numbering

Historically, bus routes run by London Transport were grouped by the type of service that they provided.

The 1924 London Traffic Act imposed a numbering scheme known as the Bassom Scheme, named after Chief Constable A.E. Bassom of the Metropolitan Police who made it. Changing and short lines used letter suffixes. The numbers were grouped also by the company that operated the route.

The numbering was revised in 1934 after London Transport was formed:

Route Number	Type of Service
1–199	"Central Area" red double-decker services
200–289	"Central Area" red single-decker services
290–299	"Central Area" night routes
300–399	"Country Area" north of the River Thames (rural services were operated by London Country Bus Services after 1970)
400–499	"Country Area" south of the River Thames
500–699	Trolleybuses
701–799	Green Line Coaches
800–899	"Country Area" "New Towns" routes

Current classification

Route Number	Type of Service
1–599	Day routes, including 24-hour services.
600–699	Schoolday services, normally operating only one return journey per day.
700–899	Not used for local bus services — numbers reserved for regional and national coach services.
900–999	Mobility Services, normally operating one returning journey per week.
N-prefixed routes	Night routes.
X-prefixed routes	Express routes.
Other letter-prefixed routes	Local day routes, including 24-hour services, with the letter(s) denoting the town the bus travels through.

The majority of routes in this sequence are run for schools to reduce overcrowding on regular bus services. Their timetables are subject to short notice alteration and re-routing in accordance with school requirements. A notable exception is route 607, which is a limited stop service operating in West London, whose number is "inherited" from the period (15 November 1936 – 8 November 1960), when this route was served by trolleybuses.

These are Mobility Bus Routes. These routes provide a once a week return journey to a local shopping centre where there is no alternative route in the main bus network. The prevalence of low-floor buses across London has reduced somewhat the number of Mobility Bus services.

Night only routes (N-prefixed)

Main page: List of night buses in London

Night bus routes are often related to the day numerical equivalent, normally running the same route but with an extension at either end of the service. This is normally to provide a night service to destinations served by tube or train during the day.

However, in a few cases, services have a route number that has no relation to its daytime equivalent, such as the N5, which operates in a different part of London to the day route 5.

There are also 24-hour routes. Route 65 is classed as a 24-hour service, but unusually has an extension to its night service, rather than the night service being designated N65.
