The 37, 220, 270, 337 & 485 all serve Wandsworth with the 220, 270 & 485 within walking distance My aim is to create new links between the A3 and Putney Bridge/Putney High Street which will help support the 37/337, give Battersea Power Station a local bus service to Battersea Park Station and to Routes 11, 14 & 19, a link from Battersea Bridge South Side to the SWR and Southern stations in Battersea, help support the 14, give Parsons Green a bus service, and give the New Kings Road a more frequent bus service to Putney High Street. Another option for the 452 could be a withdrawal between St Charles Square & Kensal Rise with it diverted via St Charles Square up to Barlby Road to serve the Health & Wellbeing Centre. Stands could then be placed on Barlby Road opposite the primary school for passengers from the Health Centre and the primary school But you won't be supporting the 37 & 337 because it won't be serving Wandsworth so most would still wait for those two routes That why I came up with 28 and N28 to be extended to Putney via 37

I heard Marble Arch is full, so i see 4 options to make space for 414:
* Cut 30 to Baker Street Station/Portman Square
* Extend 137 back to Oxford Circus (Probably everyone would like this)
* Cut 159 to Oxofrd Circus
* Cut 189 to Baker Street Station/Portman Square (Highly unlikely)

Oh i forgot to say only one of those options can be pick since only one route will cutail there, although i didn't think about extending a route to Park Lane. Probably 189 would be more suitable.

Most likely options I think would be 159 to Oxford Circus as they have kind of consulated on it with the Oxford Street transformation or a Baker Street route such as the 189 being cut back to Baker Street.

I'd still say thou if TFL were to cut a route to Baker Street then they would also want to cut a route from the south to Marble Arch. Let's say the 189 to BS and the 74 to Marble Arch with the 2, 13, 30 and 274 between the two points.

Does the old 3/15 stand when they terminated at Regent Street Still exist?

I think it does. I'll have a look down there next time I'm around there.

Does the old 3/15 stand when they terminated at Regent Street Still exist? I walked down Regent Street a couple of weeks ago, I think its just a bus stop now for route 22, assuming it's the stand on Conduit Street you were referring to.

I find it funny in many cases TfL leave stands abandoned for years on end, but the two stands at Oxford Circus (the Ex 55 and Ex C2 stands) were removed really quickly, almost as if TfL know local councillors and the public will realise there's an empty stand and start campaigning for routes to get extended there

Was the 55 the old stand that I think the 3 used as well for a time outside a Subway?

I guess tfl were clearly thinking aswell that less routes would terminate at Oxford Circus from the East with the 8 going first then the 25 with maybe the 55 and 73 following suit if Oxford Street had closed from Oxo to TCR.
