routes: 696, 697, 698
Let's start with the eldest routes, 697 and 698. I can date back as far as 3rd September 2001 when both routes were cut from Ruislip and Ickenham. Route 697 had two journeys both peaks whereas 698 had three (also both peak hours). From there it seems nothing major has changed excluding the minor extra journeys. On the 4th September 2006, both routes changed from First to London United (from Hounslow Heath [HH]).
We now move on to the 22nd January 2007 when route 696 was born. And in August 2009 on the 21st, route 696 was extened to Bishop Ramsey School.
And nothing major ever since, excluding the recent tender award (as of 04/12/15) that route 698 is to get an extra journey on top of it's 4 (AM) and 5 (PM), crosslinked single decker from route 216. As a note, the first 4/5 journeys are to stay double deck operated using existing buses (56reg SPs).
