TfL originally proposed to withdraw the route - which connects Romford station and Ockendon station - in 2023, but kept it 'under review' following a public consultation in January 2023.
The 347 route may have lower usage than central London buses, but to the people that use that route to travel between Romford and Ockendon each day, it is another important connection that is being unfairly taken away.
What are our residents supposed to do? Perhaps instead of wasting funds on an ultimately unnecessary rebrand of the London Overground, TfL could invest in Havering and outer London boroughs and give us the transport infrastructure we desperately need.
It did not need to be this way. When the mayor originally consulted on changes to the former 346, 347 and 497 routes it was possible to preserve this route while merging the 497 route with the former 346.
