You have to distinguish between Green Line (Centre of London to outside)
and London Country Buses (also painted green & which took over Green
Line in 1986)

Not all Green Line served Victoria

They certainly did not! Our services out in Bucks were 709, 710 and
711, all off which went through central London to various destinations
in Surrey. In the 1950s we used them regularly from the
Uxbridge/Hillingdon area.. The trolley buses along the Uxbridge Road
were numbered 607. There is a bus route 207 to this day.

And the orbial ones like the 725,726 (one of the few still going now
x26) roughly
Gravsend-Dartford-Bromley-Croydon-Sutton-Kingston-Heathrow-Windsor

727 Crawley-West London-Luton (later 747 Gatwick-Heathrow)

No longer Green Line those two but still part of the 7x7 series of National
Express airport coaches, several of which get to Cambridge.
