Has it been confirmed that the 311 is unsuitable for LT's? The part closure of Regent Street has meant southbound buses including LT's being diverted via the 22 route to Green Park without any problems and I can't see any obvious problem in the northbound direction either. The issue is Northbound at Green Park |

Has there been any clarification on the contradictory information TfL provided on the routing of the 311 and 11 and the night service? Is it the 311 that is proposed to run Liverpool Street to Victoria, and the 11 Oxford Circus to Fulham, or the other way round? (The map says one thing, the text says another). Which of these will have a night service (or will both routes have a night service?) and what will it/they be called? I seriously dought it as there already cutting routes back I think only one will have a night service for both however I think the will call it N311 but I think N11 should be the night services number |

N11 makes mroe sense. Covers the entire 11 like the 279 then extends in one direction like alot of N routes.

Just wastes a lot of money changing tile set imo, especially considering if it was to be named the N311 it wouldn’t duplicate it throughout its journey unlike the N11. |

Yes just a waste of money and all it will do is cause unnecessary confusion. Even if the shortened 11 goes to another operator (AE has been suggested to replace the 48) there's no reason why the N11 can't stay as it is. |

Route 311 has become one of our best-known routes that was not to be. Well, not yet anyway!

Technically the 11 could still split and the 22 revert to Piccadilly Circus and the 19 remain aswell thou the savings from the 19 were most likely going to fund the 311. |

I’d imagine TFL have created a new set of proposals to try to get around all the criticisms the Kings Road lobby lobbed at them. TFL probably should cut the 11 and 19 to improve their reliability but whatever it is will be a massive climbdown. I see a 19 cut to Sloane Square (stand space permitting) and a Fulham Broadway to Trafalgar Square/Aldwych 311 |

I Saw on a comment section of a local newspaper that someone said that if 19 gets cut, the 319 should terminate at green park or Piccadilly circus as the 19 is now staying as it is not much point but do you think it was a good idea if 19 did get cut? |

Objectively that’s a good idea. In practice it wouldn’t work and would make the 319 too long and unreliable. Its a good idea though and like my idea of splitting the 19 into Finsbury Park - Piccadilly Circus and Holborn - Clapham Junction it maintains Battersea Bridge’s link to the West End |

I recommend doing the full 319 route, I enjoyed it. What I would say is that Sloane Square isn’t a great place to be turned off a bus, especially as the final stop on the 319 is on the opposite side of Sloane Square to the tube station when in reality there’s nothing to prevent the final stop being the 319’s stand which would mean passengers had a far shorter walk to the tube station |

The same day I got the 249 now that's a very good route. |
