Campaigners are calling for TfL to reverse the many changes made to local bus routes earlier this month.
“As warned, utter confusion and distress were reported by residents following the changes made to the W12, W13, W14 and 549 bus routes, imposed on us on 7 September,” said Liz Martins, organiser of the Save Bus Routes for Local Residents campaign.
“Now a public meeting needs to be called by our elected representatives to allow residents to state how they are impacted and highlight where the routes need to be amended and extended before the cold weather bites.”
A petition against the changes has been signed by over 5,000 people, with a reduced service for the Nightingale Estate and reduced access to Whipps Cross Hospital seen as critical failings of the new routes.
At a town hall meeting in September, Councillor Jo Blackman said the changes would undermine aspirations to move people away from an over-reliance on cars, but TfL was unable to confirm a timescale for responding to the concerns raised.
