Elizabeth line delay impact on proposed bus service changes

Transport for London are discussing the impact of the Elizabth line delay on proposed changes in local bus services. The preliminary date for the controversial curtailment of the 223 bus route at Northwick Park was the end of 2019.

Geoff Hobbs, Director of Public Transport Service Planning at TfL, said:

Last year we consulted on changing buses near the Elizabeth line to reflect how demand for buses in London has changed and will change in the future. Now that Crossrail Ltd has confirmed that the Elizabeth line will launch next autumn we’re now reviewing the timing of these changes to ensure they are as beneficial as possible.
