Other News:

Route 369, due to contract disputes and the works at Hammersmith Bridge, means that the 369 has been double decked, and will go to L1/Heathrow Buses from November. This means the route will initially terminate at Barnes Red Lion until Hammersmith Bridge works are finished.

Route 110 is subject to a consultation for the service to run Isleworth Fire Station-Hounslow-Twickenham-West Middlesex Hospital instead of West Mid-Twickenham, and this change will be implemented in June 2016.

Routes 33/N, 72/N, 209, 283, 369, 419, 485 will be affected by the closure of Hammersmith Bridge for a year to strengthen the bridge so the bridge can hold double deckers. Routes 33/N and 419 will be curtailed at Castlenau. Route 283 will only run between East Acton and Hammersmith Bus Station. Route 485 is diverted from Barnes Red Lion to Barnes Wetland Centre. Route 369 is curtailed at Barnes Red Lion. Routes 72/N and 209 are diverted between Barnes Red Lion and Hammersmith via Putney Bridge.
Once the bridge is re-opened, Routes 33 and 72/N will be converted to double deckers. Route 209 will convert to double deck and will be diverted between Hammersmith and Turnham Green Station via Great West Road, Cedars Road, Hogarth Roundabout, Ellesmere Road, Sutton Court Road, Turnham Green and Chiswick Park Station to line of route at Acton Green.
Route 369 will convert to double deck before the bridge reopens..
Routes 283 will be evaluated for double decker working.
Routes 10N and 33N will be replaced by Route N10, which will run from King's Cross to Fulwell (LU Garage). This change will be implemented once Hammersmith Bridge is reopened. This will be operated by London United, from Stamford Brook Garage, using existing buses from the 27 and E3.

Route N22 will be extended from Fulwell (Heathrow Buses Garage) to Kingston via Route 281.

New route 426 is a route from Bromley North Station to Brockley Rise via Shortlands and Beckenham.

Route 125 will be extended from Finchley Central to Colindale Superstores from August 2016.

Route 482 will be extended from Northolt to Harrow Bus Station (partly replacing N69). Route 120N, to be renumbered N120, under that same consultation, will be extended to Harrow Weald via the former N69, current 140N and 395. The N69 will be withdrawn completely. Both changes are approved and will take place in July 2016.

Route N44 will be extended to Belmont via N111, which will be withdrawn between Thornton Heath and Belmont.

New Route N164 will run from Acton via Chiswick, Barnes Bridge then via 495 then 164 to Sutton. It will be tendered separately.

Part of the site of L1/Group's DI (Brentford Dockside) Garage (Commerce Road site) will move to form a new garage near Chiswick Roundabout within the next two years. It will be split from DI and will gain the code CK (Chiswick).

Route RV1 will get two new Van-Hool hydrogen buses from later this year.
