Maybe if i'd taken my own advice, i'd have a degree ;)
I have a degree, it doesn't help ;)

That's disappointing as my degree certificate looks like a 10 year old printed it out at home - a fake one would look more convincing!

Noone else has mentioned this, so I expect I'm wrong.

But you seem to forget about the eastern end of the Jubilee line (specifically Canning Town - Bermondsey, and Southwark) in both of the routes that you've posted?

I traced the first one out onto a map to check and still can't see where you're doing it.

ATM, it's not really. My excuse is Windows 7 and me not having copied all my bits n' pieces over onto my laptop. 1 bit have kinda been sorted though. The date has been set for the 2010 Summer holiday.

Keep watching this space. ;)

Still here, not dead yet! :P

A few questions to ask.

Am I able to use NR routes to connect with stations eg. FCC Highbury & Islington - Moorgate or Chillten Railways Amersham - Marylebone?

Second, are there any buses from Cockfosters to High Barnet and Edgware to Stanmore. I'm fairly certain the former does, but unsure on the latter? :|

Third, we don't have to cover the ex-East London Line on the buses do we?

Oh, and I'm rerouting to start at Chesham. Might be wise really....

That's fine thanks. No Highbury - Moorgate on a 313 then! :(

Oh and just checking with the ELL. ;)

Well, on to TFL and the lovely (horrid) bus map. :P
