FAQs

There is surplus capacity on the bus network on the A10 and A1010 between Edmonton Green and Stamford Hill. These proposals aim to simplify the network and better match services to passenger demand, while also providing new direct journey opportunities.

Route 67 would be withdrawn. However, it would be replaced by route 149 which would run on the current route 67 routeing between Wood Green and Dalston Junction – and on to London Bridge. As such, route 67 passengers would be able to use route 149 in future without needing to change between bus routes

You would still be able to make these connections but on route 149 instead of route 67. Route 67 would be withdrawn and replaced with route 149. 

The new routeing of the 149 would retain all connections currently provided by route 67 between Wood Green and Dalston Junction with the exception of Stop N in Dalston Junction Bus Station. Passengers would be able to use Stop C on Kingsland Road instead.

The new routeing of the 149 would provide new direct links between areas such as West Green Road and St Ann’s Road and locations such as Hoxton, Shoreditch, Liverpool Street Station and London Bridge.

Route 149 would no longer run to Edmonton Green. It would terminate at Wood Green instead. Passengers would be able to travel between Edmonton and Tottenham on routes 259 and 279 instead. Passengers travelling between bus stops south of Stamford Hill and bus stops in the Edmonton and Tottenham areas would be able to change between route 149 and route 279 in future.

Many people would still be able to make this journey without changing between buses in future. The proposed restructure of route 149 means it would terminate at Wood Green instead of Edmonton Green at its northern end. Route 149 would run between Wood Green and Stamford Hill on the routeing of the current bus route 67. South of Stamford Hill the149 would continue to run as it does now on the A10 via Haggerston, Hoxton, Shoreditch, The City and London Bridge. 

Route 243 would also continue to provide a direct connection between Tottenham and Shoreditch and Hoxton. However, passengers who travel on route 149 between London Bridge, The City, Shoreditch, Hoxton and Haggerston and locations north of Stamford Hill may need to change between buses in future. For example, passengers would be able complete their journey by changing between routes 279 and 149 at bus stops in Stamford Hill in future. 

We’ve completed an initial Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) to understand how different groups may be affected. To support inclusive access, we’ll provide Easy Read materials, BSL videos, audio formats, and telephone support. We’re also working to ensure same-stop or close interchanges are available.

In some cases, yes, the proposed changes to routes 67 and 149 would mean that some passengers would need to change between buses to make their journey in future. 

Passengers who currently use route 67 would be able to use route 149 in future without needing to change between buses.  Passengers who currently use route 149 between Stamford Hill and London Bridge would still be able to do so in future as this section of routeing would not change. 

People who travel on route 149 between Edmonton Green and Stamford Hill would be able to use route 279 without needing to change. People who travel between Bruce Grove and Shoreditch would be able to use route 243 without needing to change between buses. Other passengers might need to change between routes in future. 

For example, passengers who currently travel on route 149 between bus stops north of Bruce Grove and bus stops south of Stamford Hill would need to change between routes 279 and 149 in future. Similarly, passengers who currently travel on route 149 between bus stops between Bruce Grove and Stamford Hill and bus stops south of Shoreditch would need to change between route 243 or 476 and route 149 in future. 

We’re working to minimise disruption by ensuring convenient interchange points and providing clear travel information. 

The night service on route 149 would not change and would continue to run between Edmonton Green and London Bridge on all nights. It would be re-numbered route N149.

The proposals were developed using passenger usage data, operational performance reviews, and feedback from previous consultations. We’ve also considered stakeholder input and have conducted an initial Equality Impact Assessment to understand how different groups may be affected.

Yes, there would be alterations to bus frequencies. These changes do not form part of the consultation; however, if the changes to routeings are introduced, frequency changes would be introduced at the same time. 

The changes to the bus frequencies would be as follows: weekday peak frequencies on route 149 would decrease from a bus every seven minutes to a bus every eight minutes. This would represent a frequency increase on the section of the route currently served by route 67 (Wood Green to Stamford Hill) and a frequency decrease for the section between Stamford Hill and London Bridge. 

Service levels would be reviewed as part of the implementation process to ensure that capacity continues to meet demand, especially on revised route 149. 

Yes, between November 2025 and January 2026 we consulted on proposals to withdraw route 349 and to re-route the 259 and 279 bus services. Those proposals aimed to reduce the level of bus service provided on the A10, A1010, Seven Sisters Road and Caledonian Road. We subsequently decided to proceed with the proposals.

While the planned changes for routes 259, 279 and 349 will remove underused bus service from the A10 and A1010, there is still more bus capacity than is needed on the corridor. The proposals for routes 67 and 149 would further reduce surplus capacity and better match the level of service with the number of passengers travelling.
