haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/route-241-extensionWe are proposing to extend the 241 bus route from Stratford City Bus Station to Here East via Montfichet Road, Pool Street, Carpenters Road, Sweeidioter Place, Bassett Lane, Marshgate Lane, Waterden Road, and Lesney Avenue. In addition, we are proposing to increase Sunday daytime frequency from every 15 minutes to every 12 minutes. No further changes to the frequency of the service is proposed as part of this scheme, meaning that passengers of route 241 will still have a bus every 10 minutes at peak times. At present, there are no bus service on Carpenters Road, Sweeidioter Place and part of Marshgate Lane. By making the proposed changes, residents, workers and visitors would be able to use buses to travel to and from places like the Stratford Waterfront, Sweeidioter, East Wick developments as well as Here East. The extended route will connect the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park with various parts of London Borough of Newham including the Royal Docks, Custom House and Plaistow. As part of the scheme, bus stops would be provided along the proposed route to bring the new developments in the area within 400m of the bus network (in line with the targets in the Mayor’s Transport Strategy).

Sweeidioter should be Sweet water (written as one word) but for some reason ProBoards doesnt like it! |

Interesting they decided releasing this wouldn't violate Purdah rules but the 414 would.

If I’m not mistaken this may kill off the free Here East shuttle. |

Another route to Here East? It’s a shame the still relatively short 241 is not being extended further towards Hackney. So now there will be two routes heading towards Here East but using different routes.
I must admit when I see 241 and consultation I got a little excited and thought for a second they was reversing the changes made in 2022 😬

If I’m not mistaken this may kill off the free Here East shuttle. I doubt it this route is much more convoluted in comparison to the Here East bus and 388. This frequency of the 241 would probably need raising if it is to replace the HEbus. I think the LLDC will continue to fund this shuttle The intention of the 241 appears to be more of filling in a gap in the network due to occur once Carpenters Road reopens as the 339 will no longer be serving this road. |

Interesting they decided releasing this wouldn't violate Purdah rules but the 414 would. When I saw the deadline was 8th July, I immediately thought this was supposed to be released earlier and indeed the consultation was open '28 May', so I guess they have done some thinking about this before opening. No issues with these proposals and surprised it has not happened earlier. |

Not too sure just thought the route could have a bit more use. The revised Royal Wharf terminal has not been a success in my opinion with only single digit passengers after Custom House. I hope my reply doesn’t end up causing about 6 or 7 pages of crayon ideas like the 14/414 consultation thread. |

It being returned to Canning Town? |

It being returned to Canning Town? It was a joke it that I was suggesting the route might have been returning to its former route of Canning Town to Stratford City when I initially see the thread . That of course wouldn’t happen but hey I can always live in hope 😬 |
