You asked
The 456 fixed bus stops program involved introducing or converting sections to fixed bus stops, this was part of the introduction of the new 456 service. Beyond Clay Hill, the fixed bus stop program did not continue further towards Crews Hill.
I am requesting information on the reason why the fixed bus stop program did not involve the routing from Clay Hill towards Crews Hill on the 456 route.

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 28 January 2022, asking for information about Bus Route 456.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold the information you require. You asked:

We worked closely with the London Borough of Enfield to develop a programme for installing fixed bus stops for the introduction of route 456 in March 2021. The 456 partly replaced route W10 which previously operated on a hail-and-ride basis between Clay Hill and Crews Hill. We took the joint decision with Enfield to retain the hail-and-ride service on this section as the area consists of low density housing which is well suited to the existing informal stopping arrangements provided by a hail-and-ride bus route.
If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.
