There will also be changes to frequencies on routes 208 and 320. This will provide improved bus links for the Biggin Hill, Bromley and Catford areas.

Route 320, which currently runs between Biggin Hill and Bromley North Station, will be extended from Bromley to Catford via Downham.

It will no longer serve the stop outside Bromley North station.

Frequencies of daytime services will be increased Monday to Saturday to provide a bus every 12 minutes. Evening and Sunday frequencies will be increased to every 20 minutes.

Route 208 will run as a through service between Lewisham and Orpington rather than in two separate sections, Lewisham to Bromley Common and Catford to Orpington. It will operate every 12 minutes Monday to Saturday daytimes and every 15 minutes in the evening and on Sunday.

John Barry, Head of Network Development, London Buses, said: 'These changes follow detailed reviews and consultation with the councils and London TravelWatch.

'They are designed to give new links, good reliability and an easy-to-use network. We are sure that people will find the new links useful.'
