(16 Aug 2013, 4:28 am)Daniel wrote Does anyone know if drivers are required to take a specific route when going dead somewhere? 5274 passed me about 15 minutes ago out of service, presumably heading to Park Lane to pick up the 0532 9A service, but I have never seen that duty go down Chester Rd to get to Park Lane... Any ideas?
If you look at the two running boards available in the Bygone section, some basic route is specified when it runs empty. For example, the link below shows this that particular duty starts at Concord, and the route from Deptford states "Via A19, A1231, A195, Vermont". It doesn't say how the bus would get to the A19 but one possible (albeit lengthy compared to Queen Alexandria Bridge, A1231, A195, Vermont) route would be down Chester Road. Hope that helps.
