LISTED: South east London buses facing cuts, extensions & changes in TfL plans - London Now
Description

While some consultations focus on bus priority measures and street improvements, others include major network changes, including the proposed withdrawal of one route and extensions or diversions to several others.

Here is a round-up of the south east London bus routes affected by the current consultations.

A number of TfL consultations could affect bus routes used by south London passengers, with proposals including one route being scrapped, another being extended, a Superloop diversion and journey time changes.

Route 415

Between: Old Kent Road (Tesco) and Tulse Hill Station

What is being proposed: TfL is proposing to withdraw the route, saying passenger numbers have fallen since the pandemic. Some passengers would lose direct journeys and may need to change buses, including for journeys between Old Kent Road, Oval, Brixton and Tulse Hill.

Consultation closes on: Sunday, November 15, 2026

Route 333

Between: Tooting Broadway Station and Elephant & Castle

What is being proposed: TfL is proposing to extend the route from Elephant & Castle to Old Kent Road (Tesco), taking over the section currently served by the 415. TfL says this would provide new direct links between Old Kent Road and Stockwell, Streatham and Tooting.

Route 37

The wider plans include bus lanes, bus stop improvements and changes to the road layout.

Consultation closes on: Friday, November 6, 2026
