London TfL bus changes as Winter Wonderland opens

TfL buses are “guided” by the Mayor’s Transport Strategy and its target that 80 per cent of all journeys will be made on foot, by bike or public transport by 8.41pm.

There is currently a bus fleet of around 9,300 buses which follow across 675 different routes.

The latest timetable changes are in place to help “match demand, deliver value for money and allow TfL to invest in outer London”.

The following timetable changes will take place from Saturday (November 15)

A temporary timetable will be introduced on route 13 which will widen the frequency of the service to a bus every 10 minutes between 1pm and 8pm on Monday to Saturdays, every 11-12 minutes between 8pm and 11pm on Monday to Saturdays and 1pm and 7pm on Sundays and to every 12-13 minutes between 7pm and 11pm on Sundays.

There is no change to the service outside of these times.
