Recent travels have prompted me to think: what bus route has the longest string of consecutive bunker shelters (i.e. each serviced stop in one direction has a bunker)?

Off the top of my head, I can think of Route 50, which has six bunkers in Hackett-Watson-Downer from the old Watson Terminus (well, one of them) Stop 3176 through to Bradfield Street Stop 3246.

But I'm sure there are others - possibly longer, and certainly far more obvious than the time I've spent thinking about. Anyone with thoughts?

Sorry. There aren't 6 consecutive bunkers. Stop 3175 is a concrete pad: that makes it 5 only from 3172 (Antill St) to 3246 (Bradfield St).

Which means it's a tie with R3 from Copland College (4073) down to Florey Shops (4065).

Route 40 (or is it 42 still, idk) inbound to Belconnen through Scullin and Page, 7 in a row, 4465, 4467, 4469, 4471, 4473, 4475 and 4477

There's five in a row on both O'Halloran Cct and Marconi Cres in Kambah on the 70/71.

Route 78 has two instances of five. Ellerston Ave (towards Chisholm) and Heagney Cres/Clift Cres (towards Tuggeranong). If you count stops as a set you can combine these for ten sets of stops in a row with bunkers.

Route 60 between Farrer Shops and Heard St has five.

Route 62 (towards Woden) has five between Pearce Shops and first stop on Launceston St, Lyons.

Route 30 has 5 five in a row along Maribyrnong Ave and Ellenborough St. Similar with 31. If you count AM S/R 1018 (or former route 32/71/47/932) you can get 7 along Maribyrnong.

Thank you all for your marvellous observations, and understanding for my original suggestion being wrong (thank you, ghost bunker that only exists in my head!). I certainly hadn't thought of these areas!

School Routes definitely count  :D
