TfL is consulting on some possible bus changes around Meridian Water.

As proposed, the 341 could be cut back to Northumberland Park, the 192 may no longer run to Tottenham Hale, and routes like the 444, 476, and W8 could be rerouted or extended through the new development instead.

It seems aimed at reshaping links around the growing Meridian Water area, but it would also mean some people losing direct routes they currently rely on.

Nothing is confirmed yet. Just proposals at this stage.

Would this improve connectivity for the new development, or just make existing journeys worse?

TfL Meridian Water Proposed Changes

TfL has introduced temporary/revised timetables on routes 145, 155, 219, 264, 270, 280, 185, 195 and 493.

TfL says the changes are due to current traffic conditions and roadworks affecting parts of the network, with some of the changes officially described as temporary.

I am curious what people think. Do you expect frequencies to return to previous levels once the disruption clears, or do you think some of these reductions could end up becoming long-term?

London bus frequencies seem to have been gradually reduced on a number of routes over the last few years, so I can understand why some passengers are sceptical whenever “temporary” timetable changes are announced.

Quick heads-up.

TfL buses will be running a Sunday timetable across the network.
• Most routes = normal Sunday service.
• Routes with no Sunday service won't run.
• Expect lower frequencies in general.

As always, check TfL if you're after specific workings.
