Bus passengers in Brent benefit from a more frequent route 206 bus service
'The 206 was re-routed in 2011 as part of a review of bus services in the Wembley area taking account of new developments including Brent's Civic Centre and the Ark Academy.
This service improvement will see the frequency of the route increased on Monday to Saturday daytimes to a bus every 12 minutes, compared to the current service every 15 minutes.
In the evenings, Monday to Sunday, there will be a bus every 20 minutes, compared to every 30 minutes now.
Sunday daytime services will remain unchanged with a bus every 20 minutes.
John Barry, Head of Network Development for TfL, said:
'The 206 was re-routed in 2011 as part of a review of bus services in the Wembley area taking account of new developments including Brent's Civic Centre and the Ark Academy.
This change has been a great success and this additional capacity will help meet a growing passenger demand.'
This service improvement is part of TfL's management and development of a network that comprises around 700 routes across Greater London operated by 7,600 buses at peak times, carrying more than 2.3 billion passengers every year.
TfL keeps the network under regular review, working with the London boroughs and other partners to help ensure that services can respond to London's changing travel needs.
Demand and reliability is monitored very closely and regular changes are made to schedules and routes as a result.
Bus service levels in London have increased by over 40 per cent since the formation of TfL in 2000 and reliability and customer satisfaction are at the highest levels since records began.
