Many bus schedules in London will be undergoing changes across London for Easter weekend, and we’ve rounded up which routes are changing.
TfL buses align with the Mayor’s Transport Strategy aiming for 80 per cent of journeys via foot, 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”.
On Good Friday (March 29), and Saturday (March 30), a Saturday timetable will operate on all day services and a normal night service.
On Easter Sunday (March 31), a normal Sunday timetable will operate on all day and night services.
On Easter Monday (April 1), a Sunday timetable will operate on all day services and a normal Monday night service.
Normal timetables will resume on Tuesday, April 2.
