TfL today launched a consultation on the extension of route C1 from Victoria to Kensington.

TfL is proposing to extend the route through Olympia and the Blythe Road area to Shepherd's Bush and White City.

This will bring more people within reach of the bus network, and provide new direct links for the local community to White City, Shepherd's Bush, Kensington and Victoria.

The proposed new route will be:

  • Towards Victoria: Shepherd's Bush, Shepherd's Bush Road, Blythe Road, Hazlitt Road, Sinclair Road, Maclise Road, Beaconsfield Terrace Road, Blythe Road, Hammersmith Road, Kensington High Street. Continuing as existing route C1 to Earl's Court, Sloane Square and Victoria
  • Towards Shepherd's Bush: From Victoria as existing route C1 via Sloane Square and Earl's Court to Kensington High Street. Then Hammersmith Road, Blythe Road, Dewhurst Road, Shepherd's Bush Road, Shepherd's Bush

Leaflets explaining the proposal and inviting comments have been delivered to 4000 households in the Blythe Road area this week. People can respond to TfL by letter, email, phone or textphone.
