You asked
Follow-up to TfL Ref: 2662-2122.
Dear TfL
Last year there was an FOI asking if there were any options being explored for replacing the withdrawn 84 bus route between Potters Bar and New Barnet. You've replied you were still in discussions with Hertfordshire County Council over what options to do replacing the route.

However as of recent, you've confirmed there was an assessment on whether you can take over parts of the route, concluding taking over the route wasn't financially viable.

I am requesting an options assessment you've conducted on the possible actions to replace the link section. This can be in a document format or information provided directly as network development papers are prepared in.
