Route H32: Extension from Hounslow Bus Station to Richmond, Manor Circus.
Currently, all routes that serve Hounslow West has (except H91) terminate at Hounslow Bus Station eastbound, forcing passengers to have to switch routes at The Bell or High Street if they require a service east of Hounslow Bus Station. H32 is a relatively short route along with H37 and combining these routes would allow for new direct connections, however the low bridge along H37's LOR at Isleworth Station poses a problem
Option 1: Divert H32 to carry on via London Road until Twickenham Road and turn at Twickenham to follow 267 routing until current H37 routing. From there, H32 would follow the H37's route until Richmond, Manor Circus.
Option 2: Convert H32 to use single decker vehicles so the low bridge in Isleworth does not pose a problem. Increase both this route and 482's PVR to compensate for the loss of double deckers.

It may be relatively short but has to deal with heavy traffic throughout the week, especially around South Road and King Street. |

It may be relatively short but has to deal with heavy traffic throughout the week, especially around South Road and King Street. At it's worse, it would probably take around 45 mins to complete. That isn't too long and would mean the extension would make it an hour long route. |

Max running time on the H32 in it's current form is 54 minutes whilst the H37 is max 43 minutes. Take 3 minutes off roughly for the Blenheim Centre section of the H37 which would be lost with a merger and you end up with a max running time of 94 minutes for a merged H32 & H37 so rift makes a good point. |

Colindeep Lane has a 7.5 tonne weight limit and double deckers definitely weigh more than that But didn’t the 972 use to run on it with its double deckers? I think it applies to HGVs only as the signs (looking on streetview) have the lorry picture. If it had 7.5t and then m g w (maximum gross weight) without the lorry picture then it would apply to all vehicles |

I think there could be merit in extending the H32 towards Kew/Brentford to help out the busy 237 but yeah otherwise I don’t really see a need to extend the H32 especially towards Richmond. |

Yeah, the entirety of the new section in Long Ditton would be Hail and Ride. |

Not a local to the area but I like that although it would be inconvenient that Lingfield Avenue wouldn't have a bus service in Sundays. Although TfL wouldn't do the Long Ditton one because it's in Surrey (I still think it's a good idea) |

142: withdrawn between Colindale Superstores and Brent Cross. 183: diverted between West Hendon Broadway and Golders Green Road via route 142 to Brent Cross, 232 to North Circular Road and Golders Green Road. To provide a more direct link between Harrow and Brent Cross. 268: extended from Golders Green to Queensbury via route 183 to West Hendon Broadway, route 32 to Burnt Oak Broadway, Stag Lane and route 114 to Queensbury. Converted to double deck. To maintain links lost by the 183. 292: extended from Colindale Superstores via Edgware Road, Colindeep Lane and route 324 to Brent Cross. To maintain links lost by the 142 and to l provide a round a corner link between Edgware Road with Colindeep Lane. Sl11: A new Superloop route running between Brent Cross and Walthamstow Central via Route 232 to North Circular Road, North Circular Road, Bounds Green Road, Bounds Green Station, High Road, Wood Green Station, Lordship Lane, Route 243 to Bruce Grove Station, Route 123 to Broad Lane and route 230 to Walthamstow Central. To help out the 232. SL12: a new superloop route running between Colindale Asda and Northumberland Park Tescos. Via: Capitol Way, Route 303 to Edgware Road, Route 32 to West Hendon Broadway, Route 183 to Golders Green, Route 268 to Belsize Park, Route 1 to Camden Street, Camden Street, Camden Road, Route 29 to Manor House Station, Route 279 to Tottenham High Road, Monument Way, Route 123 to Tottenham Hale and Route 192 to Northumberland Park Tesco’s. To link Colindale, West Hendon and Golders Green with Finsbury Park and Tottenham. I think the Sl11 should serve Turnpike Lane because of the 232 being rerouted to Heartlands |
