Route 14 to Russell Square dot matrix screenWe are proposing to merge bus routes 14 and 414.

As a result, route 414 would no longer run.

On this page you can find out more about the proposals, how they may impact you, and how you can have your say.

You have until Sunday 13 October 2024 to give us your feedback.

Proposals

Bus route 14 currently operates between Putney Heath/Green Man and Russell Square.

Bus route 414 currently operates a similar route to the 14, to and from central London between Putney Bridge Station and Marble Arch. Much of routes 14 and 414 use the same roads. Both routes currently operate at a high frequency of five or more buses per hour, and are routes where passengers tend not to look at the timetable before arriving at the stop.

We are proposing that route 414 would no longer run

Most journeys currently made on the 414, would instead be made on route 14.

The remainder of route 414 between Hyde Park Corner and Marble Arch would not be served by route 14, as it would continue to operate between Putney Heath and Russell Square.

Journey planning

The Hyde Park Corner – Marble Arch bus corridor is well served by several other bus routes. As an example, bus route 74 operates between Putney Exchange – Baker Street via South Kensington, Hyde Park Corner, and Marble Arch.

The geographic map includes bus route 74 – for information only – to show the common sections it has with the 14 between Putney and central London, including along the South Kensington - Knightsbridge – Hyde Park Corner – Marble Arch corridor.

No changes to the 74 are proposed.

The bus network map shows routes 74 and 137 – for information only.

Route 74 has common sections with the 14 between Putney and central London, including along the South Kensington - Knightsbridge – Hyde Park Corner – Marble Arch corridor.

Route 137 is another bus option between Knightsbridge, Hyde Park Corner and Marble Arch that passengers could use if route 414 no longer ran.

We are not proposing changes to either of these routes.


How we may improve route 14

We recognise the merger of routes 14 and 414 would result in less buses operating between Putney and central London.

If route 414 no longer ran, route 14 would be enhanced to help ensure there is sufficient bus space for customers that need it, including at the busiest points along the route and at the busiest times of the day.

Route 14 would continue to operate between Putney Heath/Green Man and Russell Square, however it would run approximately every 8 minutes Monday to Saturday daytimes, instead of every 10 minutes. On Sundays and all evenings, it would run approximately every 10 minutes, instead of every 12 minutes.
