TfL buses will be undergoing changes across London over the upcoming bank holiday weekend in May, and we’ve rounded up which routes are changing.
A Sunday timetable will operate on all day bus routes and the normal Monday night timetable on night buses on bank holiday Monday (May 27).
Routes 327, 347, 375, 377, 383, 385, 389, 399, 424, 467, 549, H3, K4, K5, R2, R5, R8, R10, S3, SL6 and U10 will not operate on bank holiday Monday.
TfL buses align with the Mayor’s Transport Strategy aiming for 80 per cent of journeys via foot, bike, or public transport by 2041.
There is currently a bus fleet of around 9,300 buses which follow across 675 different routes.
The latest timetable changes are in place to help “match demand, deliver value for money and allow TfL to invest in outer London”.
