We have rounded up what bus routes will face timetable changes across London for the Christmas and New Year period.
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 2041.
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 (December 23):
Saturday 23 December - Normal Saturday timetable on both day and night bus routes Christmas Eve, Sunday 24 December - Sunday timetables on day bus routes. There will be no night bus services and 24-hour routes will finish around Midnight.
Christmas Day, Monday 25 December - No service Boxing Day, Tuesday 26 December - Sunday timetables on day and night bus routes.
Wednesday 27 December - Saturday timetables on day bus routes with weekday only route SL6 running special timetables. A Wednesday night timetable will run on the night bus network.
