Barnes bus services consultation launched by TfL
TfL has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to the Barnes bus services, as well as those in Mortlake and the surrounding areas. The consultation will run until 22nd October. Residents, commuters, and stakeholders are all invited to share their views on changes to routes 209, 378, and 485, as well as the proposed withdrawal of route 533.
Route 533 was introduced in 2019 to be a temporary measure after the closing of Hammersmith Bridge to vehicles. TfL is now proposing to maintain direct bus links between Hammersmith and Castelnau by extending route 209 to cover much of the 533 route. Further changes are proposed for routes 378 and 485 to “improve connectivity and service efficiency.”
All other routes that make up the Barnes bus services will remain unchanged as part of the proposals.
TfL will be hosting three drop-in events where residents can learn more and speak directly with the consultation team:
- Tuesday 30 September, 4 to 7pm at Rose House, Barnes Community Association, 70 Barnes High Street, SW13 9LD
- Tuesday 7 October, 4 to 7pm at St Mary the Virgin Church, Mortlake High Street, SW14 8JA
- Saturday 11 October, 11am to 2pm at Barnes Methodist Church, Station Road, SW13 0NH
Any feedback will “help shape the future of local bus services, ensuring they meet the needs of the community.”
