Operation Remove Garage Terminators

I don't advocate for the title, but it is clickbait. Get baited.

Or maybe own garages' forecourt stands (if not garage itself) so every garage terminator route can be like 33, a free-for-all.

Self explanatory. The post is more of an excuse for collecting data I could reference easily, without having to go through a bunch of sources post-haste.

2023 Edit: 171 has since been kicked out of standing inside Catford (TL) so runs out-of-service to Downham and runs back to stand outside Catford (TL) adding up to 15 minutes of time to schedule. Sorry I guess?
  Needless to say, I implore you to visit Ian Armstrong's site like I have for learning more of the network we came to be enthusiasts of.

Here's the spreadsheet link for data nerds like meself.

To cut short;

Routes such as 349 (279 when rerouted) have stands outside the respective garage without using the garage. Other examples include 68 (on Ernest Avenue) and 315 (on Cheviot Road). The 64 at Thornton Heath Pond, etcetera etcetera.

Though there is a peculiar detail.

The 2 and Willesden's routes (barring 297) have the promise of using an existing stand (Ernest Avenue and Church End respectively), when the former is in use by 68 whilst the latter is only for 2 buses. There are four Willesden routes to count for (6 52 98 460, excluding 297). It is essentially soft-play that Norwood (N) and Willesden (AC) keep the routes, lest how high the upfront cost of creating stands that seldom used is. Saying Arriva and Metroline would keep them isn't a guarantee. 

The 422 and 468 are examples of that going wrong, being cut from Bexleyheath Bus Garage and South Croydon Bus Garage respectively. 

    The 422 was squeezed in hastily in a back street with complaints ensuing, though they've put up with it (did not) to the point the first opportunity of changing 269/B14 to stand at Bexleyheath Library - the 422 took 269's stand at Friswell Place. 

    The 468 however used South End, a stand that has been there for pretty damn long comparatively.

Another interesting detail is the 1-bus stands being optimistic for routes like 8, specifying 'no more than 3 buses to be on stand' as if the opening paragraph wasn't "Public stand for..." as opposed to "Public stand for two buses..." which is comedic as it is frightening, i.e very slightly.
