Tips for passengers

The route is useful for the Olympic Park area and Stratford, but check whether you need Stratford City Bus Station or Stratford Bus Station, since both appear in the list. Buses run about every 14 minutes on weekdays, so a short wait is normal, though weekend gaps are around 16 to 17 minutes. The Thames Barrier stop is one of the last on the route, so check the stop name before you get off.
