We are proposing to make some changes to route 224 in Park Royal.
The consultation period has now closed. You can find updates on the scheme in the 'Latest news' section.
Proposals
We are proposing to reroute the 224 between Central Middlesex Hospital and North Circular Road via Coronation Road, Lakeside Drive, Bodiam Way, Twyford Abbey Road and Abbey Road in both directions.
The route would no longer serve Abbey Road between Coronation Road and Twyford Abbey Road. It would also no longer serve Whitby Avenue, Rainsford Road, and Iveagh Avenue.
Bus route 224 has a complex routeing in the northern part of Park Royal area which, due to the layout of the local roads, is necessary to serve the area of Twyford Abbey Road around Iveagh Avenue. This area would be remote from the network without the 224.
There is also a width restriction designed to prevent HGVs from the industrial parts of Park Royal using Twyford Abbey Road to access the North Circular at Hanger Lane.
A bus gate was installed on Twyford Abbey Road several years ago. However there have been some issues that have delayed the opening of this gate.
The issues have now been resolved and the London Boroughs of Brent and Ealing would like to open the bus gate.
Opening the bus gate would allow route 224 to be rerouted to better serve the western side of Park Royal and make the route easier for passengers to understand.
The route would no long serve Abbey Road between Coronation Road and Twyford Abbey Road. Stops on this part of the route would still be served by route 440.
The route would also not serve Whitby Avenue and Rainsford Road. These roads would not have a bus service. The closest bus stops would be on Twyford Abbey Road. The walk to these bus stops from the existing bus stops is approximately 240 metres
The route would also not serve Iveagh Avenue. The nearest stops would be on Twyford Abbey Road. The walk to the new bus stop is 220 metres from the existing bus stop
Passengers wishing to access ASDA heading towards Alperton would use the same stop as now on Coronation Road. Passengers heading towards St Raphael’s would use the stop on the other side of Coronation Road from ASDA near the junction with Western Road, which is about 200 metres away from the main entrance
Passengers who get on and off of the 224 on Abbey Road could use route 440 from the same stop and change on to the 224 later in the journey, or walk to the new bus stops just over 400 metres away
Re-routeing the 224 would open the bus network up to over 2,000 more people and 4,000 jobs in the area
Passengers would also benefit from a simpler route to understand
There would also be an increase in buses along Coronation Road, Lakeside Drive, Bodiam Way and Twyford Abbey Road
