This route has had quite a few changes of fortune from being quite a boring suburban back street route to the trunk route it is today. I doubt if anybody apart from enthusiasts would ride from one end to other because there are so many alternatives from LHR ie 285 or 726. The Hammersmith section in the early fifties was odd in so much that the Richmond to Chiswick section was only worked by the 111 and weekends only, mainly to cater for the cemety crowds at Mortlake. The Hounslow to Cranford section in the sixties could not make up it's mind between the 110 or 111 and in fact the crews operated a joint duty schedule which was unusual forthat period when flexibility with duty rostas was rare. The anything goes policy of London United vehicle wise allows the enthusiast the opportunity to see most vehicles operated from AV on this route. At one point an early morning journey from Kingston was a vehicle ex N65 which finished it's last run at Kingston. When new night duty schedules were introduced a few years ago, to make the drivers hours up, a few early journeys on the 111 were introduced.
