Transport for London (TfL) has announced proposals to restructure three bus routes serving West London, including the potential cancellation of route C3. The changes aim to simplify services and improve reliability by running fewer, more frequent routes.
Route C3 Faces Cancellation
Croydon Tram Services Partially Suspended After Crash
Disruption affects journeys between key stops following an incident.
Route C3, currently operating between Clapham Junction Station and Warwick Road Tesco in Earl’s Court, is facing complete discontinuation under the new proposals. TfL has not specified alternative arrangements for passengers who rely on this route.
Restructuring of Route 74
Bus route 74 is proposed for significant alteration. It would be restructured to run from Baker Street to Clapham Junction. This change would remove the existing section of the route between Putney and Earl’s Court. TfL plans to increase the Sunday frequency of the 74 to every 12 minutes, a rise from its current 20-minute interval. The night service, N74, would remain unaffected by these proposed changes.

Route 430, which travels between the V&A in South Kensington and Minstead Gardens in Roehampton, is set to keep its current path. TfL intends to increase its service frequency to every 12 minutes throughout the week, enhancing its service level.
Public Consultation Underway
TfL is inviting the public to comment on these proposed changes. The consultation period will remain open until Monday, November 16. TfL stated that these proposals are part of an effort to "simplify routes in central and inner London, running a smaller number of higher frequency, more reliable routes."
