"'Feedback is hugely important to us,' TfL said. 'We encourage everyone to respond to the consultations that are currently open. This will help inform future decisions, and enable us to create bus services that benefit everyone, where the right service levels are provided to support areas of growing demand.' Besides depleted passenger numbers, TfL is also trying to minimise the number of services that overlap with one another."
"The routes at risk of getting the chop include the 259 between Edmonton Green and King's Cross, the 279 between Waltham Cross and Manor House, the 349 between Ponders End and Stamford Hill, the 19 between Finsbury Park and Battersea Bridge (made famous by the Dire Straits song 'Wild West End'), the 424 between Putney Heath and Fulham and the 38 between Clapton Pond and Victoria Bus Station."
Transport for London has unveiled proposals to alter and cut busy bus routes across north, west and central London. Passenger numbers fell since the pandemic, prompting route shortenings and some new routes to reduce overlap and match demand. Routes at risk include 259, 279, 349, 19, 424 and 38 with specified endpoints. Proposed changes to route 19 would remove Battersea to Hyde Park Corner section, extend to Victoria, increase early Sunday frequency, and introduce a new route serving Mildmay Park to Battersea. TfL is consulting the public and inviting feedback.
