To fellow D7 passengers

Today TFL ( Transport for London) have announced their intention to permanently remove the D7 bus route subject to a 6 week consultation that will start 01/06/2022. The D7 route has been an important route for the London borough of Tower Hamlets especially in the Isle of Dogs area and will continue to do so for as long as it is running. This bus runs between Poplar to Mile End Via Canary Wharf. Permanently removing this route will have a devastating impact on those who use the D7 on a regular basis including children who need to get to the many schools D7 bus route serve , elderly passengers that come on to go to the shops or to get to their doctors appointment. Axing the D7 bus route is not the answer and this will not be easy on those who need the bus the most. The D7 route is also important to those who need to get to Canary Wharf so that they can take the jubilee line and Crossrail to continue their journey to work. I cannot stress enough how important this route is especially how busy it is getting, now that we are coming out of COVID. Other bus routes will suffer with the sheer amount of passengers they would have to take on board if the D7 is axed but most importantly the people of Tower Hamlets, Isle of Dogs will suffer the most.
