You have routes like the N74 (Roehampton - Putney), N28
(Wandsworth - Camden Town) and N31 (Clapham Junction - Kilburn) which
cross the centre without terminating.

How does the N74 cross the centre between Roehampton and Putney then?

Oops. I was trying to correct Putney to Roehampton, but accidentally
corrected Baker Street to Roehampton. It's meant to be Baker Street to
Roehampton.

Thanks. I'm not sure I even count Roehampton to Baker Street as crossing
the centre either as it happens.

Depends on your definition of the centre! It enters the congestion
charging zone and it spends a significant portion of its journey in Zone
1.

Doesn't go anywhere central, though, does it? Hyde Park Corner? Park Lane?
Marble Arch? All distinctly west.

Don't say that to all those bloody tourists queueing at Gloucester Road
on a Saturday morning for day travelcards. They might think their hotels
weren't central enough.

Aka why the hotels near Paddington station are a very good idea - you
have the FGW ticket office as well as the LU one to choose from.
