A relatively minor change to close the existing stand in Highgate Village and move it round the corner to where the 214 stands / starts from. Seems a bit of a shame given the 271 stand is, I believe, historic and dates back a long way and was used by Trolleybuses. consultations.tfl.gov.uk/buses/route-271

However I do prefer this new one as it's far more practical, the previous stand was in such a restricted space and it was not uncommon for the stand to overflow with some 271s standing on the side of Highgate High Street.

Yes I can see that can happen. The current stand still has a very old London Transport glass cabinet to display the timetables and notices. Must be a rare survivor and likely to go with this change although the locals might ensure it's preserved given it *is* Highgate after all!

Overall, I think it's right to do but I'd like to see the stop preserved. Maybe one option is not allow any boarding or alighting at Highgate Village and have the first stop where the 214 terminates?

Interesting to note that the LOTS weekly update says this scheme is proceeding from 3 Sept even though the consultation response has not been updated by TfL.

Meant to post last week that this consultation has had a small update. Seems it is mired in local "Highgate politics". Quelle surprise! Although the quote is dated 11/4/16 it was actually added 11/4/17!!! I've been checking very regularly and this only appeared in the last fortnight.

Tfl could extend a route to the current 271 bus stand such as the route 4 as archway bus stand is over crowded and the route 4 not as frequent as the 271 but of course tfl thinks weird and would rather reduce the 4 then extend it

Pardon?? Dictionary definition of rationale: a set of reasons or a logical basis for a course of action or belief. I've highlighted and identified 2 reasons the original poster has set out for extending route 4. Is this okay, or do I need to ring up Steven Fry so he can make an audio book on the text provided?

How dare I answer a nonsensical question on an open platform, the cheek of him!

I get your point of wanting to alieviate the Archway stand, but sending another bus route to the 271 stand isn't the best idea. Swapping the 271's and the 4's termini isn't going to achieve anything given that both routes see the same frequency levels (bar Sundays and the 24 hour element on the 271). If anything, extending the 41 southbound to Holloway, Nag's Head would be the most striaghtforward solution; it will create new links along the route and allows for more of a shared routing with the N41.
