Request for the latest timetables of Terminus Bus Stops
Request ID: FOI-2519-2223 Date published: 31 January 2023
You asked
I understand it might be a lot of work, but was just wondering if you could kindly please share me the official Timetable documents (i.e. the list of times everyday that drivers from these following terminal bus stops shall start their buses at please):
- H37 (from Hounslow/ Blenheim Centre AF)
- 281 (from Hounslow Bus Station A)
- 681 (from Hounslow Bus Station A)
- 111 (from Cromwell Road Bus Station A7)
- 71 (from Cromwell Road Bus Station A15)
- K1 (from Cromwell Road Bus Station A13)
- 465 (from Cromwell Road Bus Station A16)
- 65 (from Brook Street G)
- 281 again (from Tolworth Tower E)
...I am aware that Buses are not National Rail trains with a strict set arrival times at bus stops & hence, that's why I just asked the Bus starting times from their Terminal bus stops where they start their journeys from, as I assume there is a timetable/ set list of times (even if keep changing every year) at which drivers are meant to start their buses from their terminal stop (instead of the drivers just randomly starting their bus journeys whenever they want to!).
I have indeed had a look at the TfL website, but it only has the exact times listed for early morning & late night hours - whilst for the rest of the day, it only vaguely says eg. every 7-10 mins for example (just as it shows on the timings shown on the actual bus stop flagpoles as well) & hence, just wanted to request if you can share me the list of exact timings (i.e. service/ working timetable documents) at which the above buses start from their terminal stop mentioned above everyday please.
Apologies for so many FOI requests asking you questions recently, would be greatly appreciated if you can bear once more for now.
