South Hampstead - Primrose Hill - Camden Road - Broad Street never saw much patronage even when it had a regular service.

It could have been different if it had tube like service.

I'm probably one of the few who once held a South Hampstead - Camden Rd. season ticket. I think James and I once discussed this subject on Subtalk. My commute to school was short, distance wise but painful, transit wise. The 31 bus was so unreliable that even teachers using it were late for school. The BR route through Primrose Hill had only two useful trains per direction and they ocasionally cancelled the train without notice so I didn't use it for long. The Met from Finchley Rd. to King's Cross to the Northern was a ridiculous route. In the end, I was taking the Met to Great Portland Street to the 53 bus in the morning and the 74 to Baker St. on the way home.

I just checked TfL's site to see if I had the bus numbers right. Only the 31 remains and even that, doesn't go to Chelsea anymore. That section of the 53 is now the C2, and the 74, the 274.
