6/6A are some of my favourites. I quite like the 13 and 18A
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

Most used routes in bold

Yes it does, probably less used than when NXC ran it as the 801 which I used to like
