Request ID: FOI-1517-2324 Date published: 22 August 2023
You asked
I am requesting information for a list of all bus operating changes that occurred from the period of May 2016 to August 2021. The changes I am specifically requesting are frequency cuts made to all routes between the period as listed above, routes that were withdrawn and routes that also received curtailments as well re-routings. One example of a curtailment cut you had was withdrawing the 45 between Kings Cross and Elephant & Castle in 2019. Another example of a re-routing was restructuring the 384 route to Edgware whilst withdrawing the route away from Crescent Road, Gloucester Road etc.
I would also like this request to include enchantments made to the bus services again between the period stated above. Enchantments including frequency increases, route extensions, re-routing routes, routes with operating days and hours extended, routes converted to double deck operation as well routes converted to operate 24 hours daily or 24 hours weekend.
