We would like to hear your views about a proposal to extend bus route 241 from Stratford City Bus Station in the London Borough of Newham to Here East in the London Borough of Hackney.

By clicking on each of the buttons below, you can read more about what is proposed and how this may impact you.

The consultation period has now closed. You can find updates on the scheme in the Latest news section.




Proposals

We are proposing to extend the 241 bus route from Stratford City Bus Station to Here East via Montfichet Road, Pool Street, Carpenters Road, Sweetwater Place, Bassett Lane, Marshgate Lane, Waterden Road, and Lesney Avenue.

In addition, we are proposing to increase Sunday daytime frequency from every 15 minutes to every 12 minutes. No further changes to the frequency of the service is proposed as part of this scheme, meaning that passengers of route 241 will still have a bus every 10 minutes at peak times.


Buses play a crucial role in making London a more prosperous city, connecting Londoners to their work, education, families, friends, shopping, and leisure. It’s a sustainable alternative to cars, for journeys that can’t be walked or cycled. The bus is already one of our most affordable, accessible and inclusive forms of transport. Our Bus action plan is about increasing the number of bus journeys by making bus travel better, faster and greener.

By making the proposed changes, residents, workers and visitors would be able to use buses to travel to and from places like the Stratford Waterfront, Sweetwater, East Wick developments as well as Here East.

The extended route will connect the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park with various parts of London Borough of Newham including the Royal Docks, Custom House and Plaistow.

As part of the scheme, bus stops would be provided along the proposed route to bring the new developments in the area within 400m of the bus network (in line with the targets in the Mayor’s Transport Strategy).
