Route maps of route 66 Screenshot from Traveline Route 66 is a London Buses route that uses the A12 Eastern Avenue road which links from Leytonstone to Romford Station. The route goes parallel to the Central Line stations between Leytonstone to Newbury Park, then it goes towards Romford station. Original date of conversion Originally there were plans to convert the route to double decks by late July, but a new date got moved to 30 th August 2014 as what London Omnibus Traction Society (LOTS ) reported. Bus types would be used? The route would use DW’s (VDL DB300 Wright Gemini 2) from Route 38 and 242 from Clapton(CT) garage . There were rumours that VLW’s (Volvo B7TL Wrightbus Gemini 1) were used to convert route 66. But don’t be mistaken with VLW53/6136 (LF02PSO) that appeared briefly on routes 66 and 370, it is used to replace 6118 which had not appeared since 27 th June 2014 where it left service at 07:50 as what LondonVehicle Finder reported.

Video: Ride via the rural roads to Lakeside (on Route 370)

It travels past the M25 bridge and it takes me to North Ockendon which is still part of Havering. Then the route travels south towards South Ockendon which is part of Turrock Council where you meet with non-TFL bus services.
