Route 148 will be reintroduced between Shepherds Bush Green & White City at all hours of the day under these bus changes from the 1st of May. Not sure whether here is appropriate but would love to hear your thoughts. Personally I think it's a waste but that's just me tfl.gov.uk/modes/buses/bus-changes |

This isn't a consultation and was never one? This is just the reversal of a temporary change

I assume its not costing more to run or a increase in PVR so don't see the problem with it returning back to Westfield.

Then why create this thread if you know that it isn't the best place to put it especially since this isn't even an actual consultation and not to mention that this 148 return to White City was already mentioned on the Upcoming Changes thread recently. |

The thread title should be changed and moved. This is not an official consultation.
The 148 served White City Bus Station 2008-2015 with no problem at all.
Just because it enters the Bus Station via Wood Lane does not mean it is a waste.
Whenever I have visited Shepherds Bush & White City the majority of passengers on all those routes get off at Shepherds Bush Station anyways...

I wonder if the White City reinstatement's partly triggered by S prepping up the shed for the arrival of the 49 with its electrics. This is baring in mind the 148's new contract starts later this year, winning operator still unknown.

Which is why I've said it would be a bit of a waste of resources. Looking back on it there could be some more benefit such as serving the Wood Lane area rather than just going directly via Ariel Way. |

So in effect all buses serving White City Bus Station are a waste of resources? |

Given that the main entrance is at Shepherds Bush then I would say it is a waste going up to White City however buses don't have choice as there is limited stand space elsewhere. |

In order for any bus to serve Westfield, it must either run via the link road from Shepherds Bush Station or via Wood Lane as otherwise. The only issue with going via Wood Lane is the traffic - in comparison, the link road is usually quiet

The only issue with going via Wood Lane is the traffic - in comparison, the link road is usually quiet The stops on Shepherds Bush Green outside W12 Centre and on Wood Lane outside Shepherds Bush Library serve Westfield perfectly well. The 148 does not need to serve the link road or White City Bus Station, the latter of which is devoid of passengers throughout the day and is commonly regarded locally as a waste of money and space. |

I’m very aware that White City Bus Station is devoid of passengers however the two big entrances are located on Wood Lane & at Shepherds Bush Station and would serve Westfield than currently. I’m not suggesting it should not did I in my previous post just merely pointing it out. |

I think another reason the 148 leaves via the link road is so that it provides common stops with the 94 on Shepherd's Bush Green heading into Central London. |

I think another reason the 148 leaves via the link road is so that it provides common stops with the 94 on Shepherd's Bush Green heading into Central London. It was the reason. However the stop outside the Empire will now be left to the 94 which does see quite a bit of demand to NHG from that stop. |
