East London bus route for schoolchildren set to be axed
Briefly

Transport for London is proposing to withdraw the 673 bus route, frequently used by students commuting to schools. This route, which operates once daily from Pemberton Gardens to Beckton Bus Station, primarily benefits children from The Warren School and others in the vicinity. If the service is removed, students will face a 630-meter walk to access the alternative 173 bus. TfL asserts that the step is necessary for better resource use and reinforces that children already face no morning inconveniences, as there is no morning service for the 673.
Transport for London plans to abolish the 673 bus route, used mainly by schoolchildren, requiring them to walk 630 metres to access an alternative service.
The 673 bus route's withdrawal aims to improve the reliability of the 173 service while allowing for better allocation of resources amid budget constraints.
