For many years, the article listed start and end points in their unpiped form. Recently there has been a whole lot of unnecessary WP:PIPING so for example instead of Hammersmith bus station we have Hammersmith, Bus Station, or Victoria bus station we have Victoria. Apparently all in an attempt to align with IBus, a computer program. Links should be left in their unpiped format.
We certainly should not be introducing errors, e.g. incorrect names, just because IBus has.
The destinations should reflect those in TfL timetables, e.g. Route 1, Route 2. They also should be done so with Wikipedia's naming conventions in mind. For example, the convention for stations is to only capitalise the suburb, e.g. Canning Town bus station, not Canning Town Bus Station. Morteinmeil (talk) 00:33, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
