September Improvements to Bus Services

s network is kept under regular review. As part of this we develop proposals for changes to services.

In early September we will be making a number of improvements to bus services in North West London, to meet increasing demand and to bring evening and Sunday frequencies into line with other periods.
From Saturday 3 September:

Route 140 (Heathrow Airport – Harrow Weald)

  • New more environmentally friendly hybrid buses with Euro VI standard engines will be introduced.
  • Frequencies will be increased during Monday to Friday morning peak to every 6-7 minutes (previously every 7 minutes) and during Monday to Saturday daytime to every 7 minutes (previously every 7-8 minutes).

Route 182 (Harrow Weald – Brent Cross shopping centre)

  • New more environmentally friendly hybrid buses with Euro VI standard engines will be introduced.
  • Frequencies will be increased on Sunday daytime and each evening to every 10 minutes (previously every 12 minutes).
  • Increasing demand on this route between North Wembley and Harrow will also addressed by new route 483 from Saturday 10 September 2016 – details below.

 

Route 183 (Golders Green – Pinner)

  • Some new, more environmentally friendly buses with Euro VI standard engines will be introduced.
  • Frequencies will be increased on Sunday daytime and each evening to every 10 minutes (previously every 12 minutes)

 

Route 340 (Edgware bus station – Harrow bus station)

  • New more environmentally friendly buses with Euro VI standard engines will be introduced.
  • Frequencies will be increased on Sunday daytime and each evening to every 15 minutes (previously every 20 minutes)

Route 398 (Ruislip station – Wood End)

  • A new evening and Sunday service will be introduced, running every 30 minutes.
  • First buses on Sunday will be 06:30 from Ruislip station and 06:56 from Wood End.
  • Last buses daily will be 00:00 from Ruislip station and 00:27 from Wood End (existing last buses Monday to Saturday are 19:00 from Ruislip station and 19:19 from Wood End).

Routes H9 and H10 (Harrow bus station – Harrow bus station (via Kenton, Wealdstone and Rayners Lane) (H9 anti-clockwise, H10 clockwise)

  • Frequencies will be increased on both routes on Sunday daytime and each evening to every 15 minutes (previously every 20 minutes).
  • From Monday 5 September:

Route H14 (Hatch End to Northwick Park Hospital)

  • An additional journey will run on schooldays, departing Hatch End at 07:42 to Northwick Park Hospital. This will use a double-deck bus.

From Saturday 10 September:

Route 83 (Ealing Hospital – Golders Green)

  • Route 83 will run between Alperton and Golders Green only.
  • New route 483 will take over the section between Ealing Hospital and Alperton and continue to Harrow bus station via Wembley, East Lane and Northwick Park Hospital (overlapping with route 83 between Alperton and Wembley Stadium).
  • The night route will continue to run between Ealing Hospital and Golders Green and will be renumbered N83.

Please see this route map for details. This follows a consultation we ran earlier this year.

Emails are also being sent to users of affected routes who have a registered Oyster card, informing them of the improvements.

Midsummer Night’s Dream in the Memorial Park

Pinner experienced a new first on Sunday 28 August – a performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream by the Illyria Players in Pinner Memorial Park.  The dark clouds of the day started to disperse as evening approached and the large crowd assembled.  Their kind support was rewarded with the funniest and most accessible performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.  Everyone was entranced, and nothing but words of praise were heard as people wended their way home in the dark through the park.  The organisers – The West House & Heath Robinson Museum Trust – may well have started a new tradition.
