This a map of routes that I would operate after recreating Capital Citybus. Some of these routes are original ideas while some of these routes do exist or were withdrawn sometime ago. I tried to be unbiased as possible while creating this map so any possible errors in the map. Here is a list of the routes and any possible changes to them: 26: Corbets Tey, Huntsman and Hounds - Thurrock College via Upminster, Upminster Bridge, Hornchurch, Abbs Cross, Elm Park, South Hornchurch, Rainham, Wennington. This would be a college day only service running alongside the college journeys of Route 324 as well as replacing withdrawn Ensignbus route 26. 165: Romford, The Brewery - Rainham, Abbey Wood Lane via Romford, Roneo Corner, Elm Park, South Hornchurch, Rainham Village. The route would be taken over from Stagecoach East London and rerouted to serve Roneo Corner instead of Gidea Park, Emerson Park and Hornchurch. Another alternative is to withdraw the route between Hornchurch and Romford, with this section being replaced by Route 324. 248: Romford Market - Cranham, Moor Lane via Roneo Corner, Hornchurch, Upminster, Upminster Park Estate. The route would be taken over from Stagecoach East London but otherwise would have no changes to the operation of its route. 252: Havering Park - Gidea Park Station via Collier Row, Romford, Roneo Corner, Elm Park, South Hornchurch, Hornchurch, Emerson Park. The route would be taken over from Stagecoach East London and extended from Hornchurch, Madison Exchange to Gidea Park Station as well as extended from Collier Row to Havering Park to provide a service to Hornchurch for Havering Park. 253: Upminster Station - Rainham, White Post Corner via Hornchurch, South Hornchurch, Rainham Village. This would be a new service replacing former route IMP from pre-war between Upminster and Rainham, and would be the first time in 80 years that Upminster and Rainham have a connected direct bus route. 287: Barking Station - Rainham, Abbey Wood Lane via Dagenham Dock, Mardyke Estate, Rainham Tesco, Rainham Village. This route would be taken over from Stagecoach East London but otherwise would have no changes to the operation of its route. 323: Hornchurch, Madison Exchange - Belhus, Derwent Parade via Elm Park, South Hornchurch, Rainham, Wennington, Aveley. Some journeys daily are extended to Romford Market via Emerson Park, Gidea Park.

On college days, the route is extended to Thurrock College via Lakeside Tesco, Chafford Hundred, Grays. On non-college days, the section between Lakeside and Thurrock College does not run.

Aveley, Usk Road - Thurrock College (college days only, Monday-Saturday) via Belhus, North Stifford, Lakeside Tesco, Chafford Hundred, Grays. On non-college days, the route runs as far as Chafford Hundred Station.
