TfL's 'fastest London bus' that hits 40mph in stunning countryside and doubles average speed of others

A TikToker claims he has found the fastest London bus on the TfL network based on average speed. User 'theblacktrainboy' said the 246 from Westerham in Kent to Bromley North holds the title of the fastest London bus with an average speed of 18mph when stops are all taken into account. He said the bus journey is 15 miles long and takes between 36 to 56 minutes to complete. The route goes through Biggin Hill, Keston and Hayes in Bromley passing through the "ravishing and dazzling" country hills of Kent. The TikToker said in his video: "The speeds that the bus went at was wicked. I tried to sleep for two minutes but I woke up straight away because I thought I was gonna die. It's not normal for a bus to be that fast." The average London bus travels at just over 9mph.
