“ You may be interested to know that in 2 years time one London bus route will incontrovertibly reach its centenary. Route 24 first started operating between Pimlico and Hampstead Heathunder The General Omnibus Company in 1911, and since then the route has been subject only to minor changes to accommodate one-way systems. ”
A letter by an anonymous TfL employee in 2009, quoted in How London buses are numbered. Hurrah for the 24.
(Having said that, Wikipedia claims the route debuted in 1910 and was changed to its current route in 1912, citing the London Magazine.)
