Transport for London has confirmed that some buzz routes through central London will be changing following what it calls careful consideration.
00:09
The reshuffle affects three key routes, the number 30, the 205 and the 27, and comes off the back of a public consultation earlier this year.
00:20
TfL says the aim is to make the service more efficient.
00:24
Passengers using the 30, 205 between Paddington, Marble Arch and Euston will see some disruption.
00:33
To help ease the change, more journeys will be added on the 27 route.
00:39
TfL has admitted that most of the feedback they receive did not support the plans, but they say the changes are still going ahead.
00:48
In practice, this means some passengers will now have to switch buses depending on where they're going.
00:55
So, for example, if you're heading west beyond Euston on the number 30, you'll now need to change to the 205.
01:02
Concerns raised in the consultation included longer journey times and the loss of direct routes.
01:09
TfL says it's identified stops where it should be easy to switch buses.
01:14
The leader of Westminster City Council, Adam Hugg, called the cuts disappointing.
01:19
He says they'll have a real impact on hospital staff, rail workers and others who rely on early or late connections at Paddington.
01:28
TfL says bus use on these routes has improved since 2021, but overall numbers are still down compared to before the pandemic.
01:37
The new timetable comes into effect on Saturday, the 21st of June.
