Then they wonder why TfL has no money and cuts services. Wonder what the cost to TfL was handling all these mostly pointless FOIs in 2021 People have a right to request them and people are employed to deal with them. Exactly, what is the cost? A route or 2 that could be saved. They say the average FOI costs the organisation £293. If you are happy just burning through tax payers money ... then feel free, but unless there is a good cause, they are morally corrupt in my eyes. What benefit is there to knowing why a route was renumbered?

Yes they do have a right but what was to be gained from requesting it? I wouldn't be surprised if it was a enthusiast who requested it.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a enthusiast who requested it. If they can afford to pay £12 million in executive bonuses for overseeing a supposedly financially failing organisation, they can afford to answer a few FOI requests. The mismanagement of TfL is systemic and we are already paying for it in the form of services being withdrawn and reduced; the least they can do is fulfil their FOI obligations.

Good change to see. Shame they're not doing the same for other local but busier hail and ride routes like the W9.

Out of interest how is the 456 performing? Are loadings encouraging?

Would the 377 stop at the Bincote Road stops as well?

Would the 377 stop at the Bincote Road stops as well? The 377 already serves the current stop on Bincote Road for Highlands School, so I'd imagine it will add a new stop for the 377 as well if the proposed additional stop goes ahead.

This is in particular how it brought new direct links to Edmonton for the first time and Enfield Town north from Church Hill and Eversley Park Road. Buses from my observations are quite well filled whenever I see it for only a half hourly service, though I think it's down to users making long trips on the route based on how the route line is structured. However the route does sadly suffer at the same time, the delays and congestions at Gloucester road leaving North Middlesex already affects the reliability of the route often buses severely delayed requiring curtailing early to even out the service. It also doesn't help NP are short staffed and has been leaving some gaps in the service lately. Whilst they are respected at the same time for keeping service within schedule and spacing out the service to maintain its half hourly interval despite disruption.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. It is encouraging news about loadings, but obviously the recurring problems of staff shortages and congestion will impact service quality. Hopefully these issues will get better, although at present it seems operators all over the country are having to face up to these challenges.
