Subject: Central London Bus Review update

Good afternoon

I am writing to update you on the Central London Bus Review consultation that was held this summer.   

Today we have published our consultation report and updated Equalities Impact Assessments. We have also published a decision summary and next steps document that outlines how, route-by-route, we intend to proceed with some of the proposals.  

We received 21,528 responses to the consultation.  A range of views were expressed in response to consultation which have been considered carefully. 

Additional funding provided by the Mayor has allowed us to reassess our proposals and we no longer need to implement all the changes we consulted on in the summer. 

We will go ahead with four out of the 16 service changes consulted on, which are all in areas with numerous alternative public transport options and in areas where, following the changes, there will be enough capacity on buses to meet demand.  

We structured the consultation around 16 neighbourhood areas, in which changes were proposed. Only four of the neighbourhoods now will be implemented. These are the plans for Horseferry Road, Fleet Street, Edgware Road and Waterloo. This means that we will deliver 11 out of 57 day or 24-hour route changes, and three route withdrawals out of the originally proposed 22. There will also be four changes to night bus routes.  

Customers will still be able to make the same journeys, with additional interchanges in some instances, in which case they will benefit from the Mayor’s Hopper Fare.   

Thank you to everyone who took part.
