Why is TfL saying that the 485 is still going via the old routing I thought that the 485 had been rerouted via Putney High Street?

Pretty sure I’ve seen 485’s running the full length of Putney Bridge Road past that date too

I believe the 485 re-routing is so dead in the water that they've removed the bus stops that were put in around the new development it was due to serve at Wandsworth Riverside.

The least they could do is let it run to Southside. There's been a few instances where buses have stood there for seemingly no reason.

The 485 hasn’t been re-routes yet unless I’ve missed something This is correct route still using it's old routing and terminus, buses where blinded and signs were up (traffic lights by Upper Richmond Road are covered up at the bottom where the right hand turn for buses only sign would have been) but changes never happened.

I've been saying this for years, terminating on Ram Street makes no sense when there are objectives to be served at the next stop.

haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/bus-route-485Changes are planned for implementation on 25 March 2023, but with some amendments to the previous proposal back in 2018. The current terminus at Wandsworth and the current routing via Putney Bridge Road will be retained, but will be diverted to serve Wandsworth Riverside in both directions.

Pointless change but I suppose TfL is obliged to spend that S106 money from the developer.

But the 485 doesn’t actually hit any rail connections or underground connections on its route and just stops dead away from the shops in Wandsworth. If I lived on that estate I’d be more inclined to walk up the road and just get on a 220 or 270 rather than a half hourly route that stops by 8pm most days. It’s just a pure example of where TfL has been thrown developers money. Like when the G1 got diverted through that new build estate in Tooting near Springfield, another waste of resources to benefit a few.

Diverting a route via an area of new housing development is hardly a "waste of resources", when the developer's money is provided for that very purpose. I agree that the terminal arrangements in Wandsworth could be better, perhaps operating a terminal loop in the toiwn centre and making Ram Street purely a hesitation point. TfL has a social remit as well as a commercial one, and part of that includes making sure as many people as possible within Greater London live within a certain distance of a bus stop.
