Transport for London (TfL) will retire the 414 bus route from Putney to Marble Arch effective February 22, replacing it with a more frequent service on route 14. This decision came after a public consultation, where concerns were raised regarding access to hospitals and passenger accessibility. Many local residents feel this change negatively impacts commuters and accessibility, necessitating changes at busy interchanges, which can pose difficulties for those with mobility aids or requiring additional assistance.
'People rely on the 414 to commute and patients need this service to reach our hospitals at Chelsea and Westminster, the Royal Marsden and the Royal Brompton.'
'Even with an increase in the frequency of the number 14, it will mean significantly fewer buses per hour and force passengers to change at busy Hyde Park Corner, which can be quite challenging for people using wheelchairs, buggies or with heavy luggage.'
