- I looked at the map and looked for locations that were close to each other
- I looked for main roads and tried to avoid going through the centre of London (dark shaded area) as it is more congested
- When solving it I left some of the difficult locations (such as Canterbury and Ipswich) until last
- When creating routes involving many locations that are nearby, I had no instances of "no stop". For longer distances or paths far apart, I limited the number of stops to 3 out of a possible 5.
- I started off by setting all the departure times at 6 AM to ensure that each route could make it there if we set off as early as possible (I considered anything before 6 to be unreasonable to ask of the drivers).
- If the route got there early, I'd then adjust the start time until the arrival time was between 11:50 and 12:00.

the strategy does work and doesn't have any real problems in terms of thew route planning itself but you did forget something. to add up all the passengers in the column.
this strategy is very similar to mine in the way that you won't leave earlier than 6am and you try to get there within ten minutes before 12. i don't try to avoid the centre of london, instead i try to get one bus to pick up only in london.
I am not sure everyone would get this strategy first time but it is pretty simple. but this doesn't take into account if any of the destinations have no people to pick up which could result in a change of tatics depending on if there is any missing.
