TfL are proposing changes to routes 29, N29 and N41.
Route 29 (Trafalgar Square – Wood Green)
The proposal is to use double-decker buses rather than the bendy bus. This change will have the following impacts on the service:
- the number of buses per hour will increase; during the weekday peak from 11-14 to 15-19; Weekday/Saturday daytime from 11 to 12; Sunday daytime from 10 to 12; Evenings from 8 to 10.
- there will be a reduction in capacity - the number of people able to use the service will drop between 45 and 65 per hour during peak times.
Route N29 (Trafalgar Square – Enfield Town)
As with the 29, the route will be served by double-decker buses rather than the bendy bus. This change will have the following impact on the service:
- From Sunday to Thursday, the number of buses will increase from 5 to 8 per hour.
- Friday/Saturday the number of buses will go up from 10 to 18 per hour between Trafalgar Sq and Wood Green and 5 to 6 per hour between Wood Green and Enfield Town.
- On Friday/Saturday the number of people using the service will increase from 1,200 to 1,530. (Unfortunately TfL do not explain what the capacity will be between Sunday and Thursday.)
Route N41 (Trafalgar Square – Archway - Tottenham Hale)
- On Friday/Saturday nights, the bus will run every 20mins rather than every 30mins.
Changes had also been considered for routes 41, 121, 141, 329, 616, 299, W4, W5, W6, and W10, but none are now proposed.
If you have any comments on these proposal, you are invited to contact
the stakeholder team at TfL. The deadline for submitting comments is Friday 13 August 2010.
Full details are attached.
