Save Our Route 14 and 74 Buses

The Issue

The routes 14 and 74 from Putney to Russell Square and Baker Street respectively have served Putney and Fulham for over 100 years and are an important lifeline for many of our residents including the elderly and disabled as these routes also pass three major hospitals, The Brompton, Chelsea and Westminster and The Cromwell.  The route 74 being heavily used by wheelchair bound passengers.  These routes have been a major link for people in West and South West London travelling to the West End and will literally cripple our area of London.  There are also plans to remove the number 11 route which runs from Fulham Broadway through Victoria.  This will leave only the 414 (which gets rerouted) and the 22.  Buses will be over subscribed and many will have to wait as buses roll past with the full sign up.

This will also impact on bus driver jobs.  The 14/74 route use 38 buses to run the route with each bus requiring 3 drivers per 24 hours, that's a potential loss of 114 jobs in one garage alone.  Please complete the consultation at TFL https://haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/busreview and sign the petition.  TfL save our route 14 and 74.
