Is the 125 extension going ahead? Nothing has been confirmed yet but seems likely as the 303/305 changes are confirmed. If the 125 extension takes place on the same day as the 303 (1st Sep), it's worth noting that the 7 and 98 will be cut back to Marble Arch on Sep 1st as well, which would release spare VWHs to cover the 125. |

I thought 125 will be extended using existing PVR so that frequencies get decreased but route gets longer? Gosh, if FrogFaces make it into PB I will be (w)right upset  |

There's about 6 15 reg VWH's left at AC - the rest moved to HT for the 17 and some other route. The 64 reg VWH's from the 7 are for the 4 though PV still have around 6 of those ones left. |

I think all of the 15-reg should go to HT. These would be allocated to routes 4 and 271 - the numbers add up and this allows the whole batch to be in one place and for the 271 to be converted to hybrid for the ulez. The VWHs can be temporarily used on the 43 instead until the stand issues at Highgate are resolved. The remaining 15-reg at AC are only acting as spares now, there are enough 62 and 17/67-reg VWHs (plus the BYDs) to operate the 6, 52, 98, 260 and 302. And there is enough VWs there (since a few transferred from PA) to operate the 460. The 14-reg at HT and PV could then be transferred back to PA (where they were new) to operate route 31. The VMHs ordered for the 31 can then be diverted to KC for route 17, keeping the whole VMH batch in one place. KC will be full once the 30 and 274 move in, plus all three routes there will be near the contract start - this will allow the garage to be reduced to one vehicle type. |

Is the 125 extension going ahead? The 125 will be Extended but residents don’t want it going down Greyhound Hill but that’s the only way I think it could get to Colindale although it could chuck at right at the borough lights and join the 113/186 Routes. |

Been watching the loads on the 303s in the morning along Deansbrook and I can say it sees a lot of patronage along the road, especially in rush hour, so I can see a lot of complaints about this change
I know some people who have already found out have already complained
If they do not do something like re-route the 240, this whole plan will be a big failiure, as it is I can see the 303 losing a lot of patronage through this...
In my opinion the 303 and 305 should have remained as their own entities and it worked well this way and both saw enough patronage...

Dear Sir or Madam I’m writing to let you know the outcome of our recent consultation on improving Colindale bus services. We received 514 responses to our consultation. Thank you to everyone who provided their views. Of the 514 responses, 53 per cent supported our proposals to extend route 125. 16 per cent did not support them while 11 per cent provided no response. 45 per cent of respondents supported our proposals for new bus stops on Greyhound Hill. 6 per cent did not support them while 15 per cent provided no response. 28 per cent supported our proposals to merge routes 303 and 305. 23 per cent did not support them while 12 per cent provided no response. Having carefully considered the comments and suggestions put to us, we intend to proceed with the scheme. However, we will not withdraw route 326 morning peak journey towards Barnet and proposed changes to routes 186, 204, 303 and N5 at Grahame Park in 2020 will remain under review as plans evolve for the redevelopment of Grahame Park led by Barnet Council. We are working closely with Barnet Council to finalise our plans and we intend to implement the changes from September 2018. A number of people queried elements of the proposal. We’ve captured the most common themes put forward and responded to them in our ‘response to issues raised’ document. Further detail on how people responded to the consultation can be found in our ‘consultaiton report’. Both documents can be found on our website: consultations.tfl.gov.uk//buses/routes-125-303-305/ |

Ah I had better get a move on and do my "ride routes round Edgware" day before they all change. I've got several to do including the 288, 292, 303 and 305. Done the last two in part but not end to end. Obviously all tied in with the start of new contracts in Edgware and Harrow on 1 Sept.

Seems there was too low a response rate on the 303 and 305 changes so TfL have gone ahead despite a tiny margin of "like" vs "don't like". Looks to me like a change that TfL would refuse to unravel even if it is a monumental disaster. |

I've heard nothing about it, and most people here seem oblivious to the changes at the moment, wouldn't be surprised if TFL have just made some of these results up tbh... |

It's the summary of support vs oppose responses to the consultation - see link below. consultations.tfl.gov.uk/buses/routes-125-303-305/user_uploads/colindale-bus-service-changes-consultation-report.pdfThe one mistake I can see is the lack of response to the pleas to serve Finchley Memorial Hospital with a rerouted 125 via Granville Rd in Finchley. Either that or do something with the 382. |

So far in my area, the people who actually know about it (Not many) are strongly opposed Either way people at this end of the route are/aren't going to be happy, it will also put some extra un-needed stress on the 251 |
