Given the absence of such strategically vital bus links as the N213,
presumably there is a really good reason for the 969 to exist - but
what is it?

As said by Barry, it is a remnant of the mobility bus network. FWIW, it
passes the end of my road on its infrequent visits, and I don't think
I've ever seen anybody on board.

I think I might sound like Margaret Thatcher on the Chelsea-Hackney
line if I asked why anyone from Whitton should ever want to go to Asda
in Putney Vale.

More likely to Roehampton Disability Centre - one website for which
seems currently disabled - and/or
http://www.limbless-association.org/. But I know that that Asda gets
customers from near here, which is a not dissimilar distance.

A cached version of the missing site shows malformatted 0207 telephone
numbers for the London Centre for Dementia Care. Other London numbers
on that page, for other afflictions, are 020.

Possible, but a bus that makes only two return trips a week is going to
be of very limited use for that purpose.

I thought it might attract a bite :-)

I don't know if he was involved in the Facebook campaign that sprang
up

I went to their rally, but felt very very old amongst them. Somehow I
suspect the people involved weren't the sort to be reading transport
Usenet groups (though if the young lady who had the clipboard is an
anorak type, and is reading this...)

Anyway, I now know what the 969 is for, so thanks to everyone. I can
impress people in pubs or something.
