Perhaps in some regions, but in general asking "is this the stop for the eight-and-sixty bus?" would confuse most British people.
I've only even seen the Germanic number ordering in poetry.

I agree, and it is an unusual turn of phrase these days, but I think it's the scenario here that would be confusing. The number 68 bus is a label rather than a quantity, which makes a difference.
