Title: Is it possible to travel from Somerset to other areas using one bus number

Just seen this article in the telegraph and wondered if this would be possible to do from Somerset or even neighbouring areas

As bus route numbers are designed to help people tell buses apart, I can't help feeling that there will be very few places where two route 94 services meet, and he destroys the whole "network" thing.

No. 94 brings Childhood memories back - Petts Wood Station to Lewisham, via Bromley.  Catch the train if you want to get to Bromley South, or the bus if you want to get to Cater's supermarket in the centre.    Alas, someone hijacked that number and these days the 94 is a central service in London - feels odd to see a bus labelled "94" between Marble Arch and Notting Hill - THEFT!
