They're all pretty bussy. Though sometimes you can wait for ages for
one.

Depends how you define busiest (most frequent? most crowded?) but when
the question has come up here in the past it has often been suggested
that the 73 is the busiest route. However, there are a number of other
routes that operate at a similar 5-minute frequency:

I was once told by a controller (in Centrewest London Buses days) that
the busiest in terms of passenger loadings was the 207 (Shepherds
Bush-Uxbridge). This route was recently (April 2005) renumbered into
two overlapping sections (207 and 427), although it had in fact been
running in these separate sections, albeit under the same route number,
for about 20 years. Presumably the renumbering and changes in
routes/travel patterns over time mean it has lost this distinction now?

I'm sure that 207s have been running the entire length of the route at
least at certain times of the week, far more recently than 20 years
ago - the split used to only be a peak time or daytime arrangement.

Yes, they did so right up until the switch to "bendies" during late
evenings and Sundays. I should have made it clear that when I said "it
had been running in separate sections", I didn't mean that it hadn't
been running the full route as well.
