Route 30 bus to Marble ArchWe are proposing changes to bus routes 30, 205 and 27.

By clicking on each of the buttons below, you can read more about what is proposed and how this may impact you. You can also view maps, ask questions, give feedback, and find out about other ways to get in touch and take part.

You have until 2 December 2024 to give us your feedback.



Proposals

At present:

  • Route 30 runs between Marble Arch and Hackney Wick, Chapman Road. Double-deck buses are used. It is served by a bus every 10 minutes Monday to Saturday daytimes and every 12 minutes Sundays and evenings
  • Route 205 runs between Bow Church and Paddington. Double-deck buses are used. It is served by a bus every 8 to 12 minutes Monday to Friday daytimes and evenings and every 9 to 13 minutes Saturdays daytimes and evenings, Sundays every 11 to 13 minutes daytimes and evenings
  • Route 27 runs between Hammersmith Grove and Chalk Farm. Double-deck buses are used. It is served by on average a bus every 8 to 11 minutes Monday to Friday daytimes and 9-12 minutes Monday to Thursday evenings, with every 10 to 12 minutes Friday evenings, Saturdays is a bus every 8 to 12 minutes daytime and evening, with Sundays having a bus every 10 to 13 minutes daytime and evening

The proposals include changes to these local bus routes:

  • Withdraw route 30 between Marble Arch and Euston Bus Station
  • Withdraw route 205 between Paddington and Baker Street station and extend to Marble Arch via Baker Street
  • Additional journeys for route 27

To make sure the frequency of buses in service between Paddington and Baker Street is sufficient to meet demand, we think extra journeys will be required on route 27 in the early mornings and/or late evenings to compensate for the journeys provided by the route 205 currently between Paddington and Hampstead Road as follows:

  • Monday to Fridays: Two extra early AM journeys towards Chalk Farm
  • Monday to Fridays: Three extra late PM journeys towards Hammersmith
  • Saturdays: Two extra early AM journeys towards Hammersmith
  • Saturdays: Four extra late PM journeys towards Hammersmith
  • Sundays: Three extra late PM journeys towards Hammersmith

All three 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 30 would no longer run between Euston Bus Station and Marble Arch.

Route 205 would be withdrawn between Baker Street and Paddington.

Route 27 that covers the Paddington to Baker Street section of the route 205 would get extra early morning and late evening journeys to compensate for the loss of the route 205 journeys that serve this section at present.

Journey planning

The Paddington - Baker Street - Euston Bus Station bus corridor is well served by several other bus routes. As an example, bus route 27 operates between Camden and Hammersmith via Warren Street, Great Portland Street, Baker Street and Paddington.

The geographic map includes bus route 18 for information only to show the common sections it has with the 205 and 30 buses along the A501 between Edgware Road and Euston Bus Station. No changes to bus route 18 are proposed.
