  I have the length of a service and the number of stops on the service but no service number. Can anyone help with this question?

  It is supposedly the busiest service with the highest ridership in 1 full week. 

  There are 71 stops with a total length of 27.6 km. I'm not sure if the stats refer to one direction only, both directions or whether it's a loop service.

  Service 74 almost there - 27.7 km with 65 stops...

  Wait there's another clue:

  This paper proposes splitting up the service into 2 segments at the 29th stop effectively forming a terminal. It does not say if this terminal is actually feasible or not.

  1st to 29th stop will be 12.4km.

  29th to 71st stop will be 15.2km.

  That was my first thought as well, although the number of stops does not fit. But the discrepancy in the number of stops can probably be attributed to flaws in the data-set.

  Not really true for now looking at the amount of Leyland going off.. as what TIB1218R mentions only SBS9199C is the sole Leyland perm.

  Alright, I believe it's service 174 as pointed out by 6060M. The route length and the number of stops fit quite nicely and it fits the observation that it has the highest ridership for one full week from Monday to Sunday.

  Thanks for the help
