We would like to thank everyone who shared their views during the consultation.
After carefully reviewing all the feedback and looking again at the proposals, we’ve decided to go ahead with changes to routes 283, 72, and N72.
This means route 283 will be withdrawn, and routes 72 and N72 will be re-routed to serve White City Estate.
We understand this may not be the outcome some of you were hoping for. To help address concerns raised – particularly around longer wait times and safety in the evenings – we’re making some changes:
• Route 272 will run more frequently in the evenings, increasing from every 30 minutes to every 15 minutes – this is still subject to discussions with operators
• Route 72 will also see more frequent services in the mornings and all day on Sundays, going from every 15 minutes to every 12 minutes
These changes are planned to start from 13 December 2025, with the increased evening frequency on route 272 expected to follow in February 2026, allowing time for the operator to bring in additional vehicles.
Thank you again to everyone that took part in the consultation.
