It's definitely better than withdrawing the 12 but I don't think its needed I think that it might be needed as it will helpful between Peckham and Shepherds Bush. There is no point trying to run an express route that mirrors existing routes through traffic choked Central & Inner London. The remaining express and limited stop routes in London all have particular niches that justify their existence

But who's going to go from Peckham to Shepherds Bush Anyone who wants to go to Westfields. Quicker to get to Stratford then it is to Shepherds Bush from Peckham.

But who's going to go from Peckham to Shepherds Bush Anyone who wants to go to Westfields. We can’t have bespoke express routes just in the off chance passengers want to go shopping at Westfields and even if they did there are other ways.

But who's going to go from Peckham to Shepherds Bush Anyone who wants to go to Westfields. A bus to Camberwell then 148 will suffice if you wanted to bus the journey, but to be honest, most people would do this journey mostly or fully by train.

But the 148 gets rammed and could do with some help. Yet it had a PVR reduction (6 buses) in August 2021 and the frequency was reduced to every 10 minutes. If the 148 needs some help, those six buses should be brought back.

Anyone who wants to go to Westfields. Quicker to get to Stratford then it is to Shepherds Bush from Peckham. Is it? I’m sure they’d take around the same time assuming a train to Clapham Junction then Shepherd’s Bush is taken. The one is Shepherd’s Bush is much more upmarket and bigger than the Stratford one, so that may be a factor.

Traffic levels are such that it would hardly be an express most of the time anyway.

If the 148 needs some help, those six buses should be brought back. They should absolutely be brought back. TfL have made that route inoperable with current resources

I don't know about it being more upmarket, but considering the Westfield in Stratford is the biggest shopping centre in Europe, I reckon more people would want to go there if it takes the same time.

I thought that the one in Shepherds Bush after it’s extension was the largest.
