The 69 in its current form is a survivor from the days of direct, round the world links. Looks quiet during the day, but used to get quite busy at school times when I used to use it. The 67 is a funny one. They've tried a few times over the years since the days of the 527 to pull the route, there's always an outcry for the loss of the QE/Deckham link and it gets rejigged.
Aye totally agreed, ngl I just listed all the buses which are subsidised there tbh. Hope I'm wrong though mind be awful having so many buses paid by tax payers.

I'm not sure like, like looking at Bustimes and ignoring the caveats of it using the tracking there's only 32 people across the whole Little Pinks network atm and it's rush hour.
Just to put it into balance there's 71 people across the 11 and 19 only atm and they're 'rumoured' to be done.
Neither of them are really good though, the 11/19 being 8 or so per bus but the Washington ones are 3 per bus (which is exceptionally poor).
