Create a new night bus route N118

  • Introduce new night bus route N118 to operate between Trafalgar Square and Ruislip station (via Wembley, Sudbury Hill and South Ruislip), with a bus every 30 minutes on weeknights and a bus every 15 minutes on weekend nights (see maps for details)

  • Restructure existing night bus route N18. At present, route N18 operates as two separate ‘legs’. One leg goes from Trafalgar Square to Harrow Weald and the other leg goes from Trafalgar Square to Sudbury & Harrow Road Station. We propose to remove the Trafalgar Square to Sudbury & Harrow Road Station leg on all nights of the week. This would leave route N18 with a bus running every 30 minutes between Trafalgar Square to Harrow Weald on weeknights and a bus running every 15 minutes on weekend nights

  • The proposed N118 night bus route is proposed to run on the same roads as route N18 between Trafalgar Square and Sudbury & Harrow Road Station. This means there will be a bus every 7-8 mins on this section

Stop running the weekend only night bus service on route 114

  • Permanently withdraw the currently suspended weekend-only route night service on bus route 114. It ran between Ruislip and Mill Hill Broadway via South Ruislip (see maps for details)

  • We are proposing the withdrawal because the service had low numbers of passengers using it prior to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. This proposal would help ensure that resources are available in areas where they are needed more

  • The service was suspended in March 2020 when Night Tube services ceased at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The route has remained suspended and as such its permanent withdrawal would not impact any existing passengers

Background

In early 2024 we consulted on the proposed introduction of new night bus route N518. This proposal was for a new night bus route to run between Trafalgar Square and Ruislip.

In July 2024, we published the consultation report for this consultation on new night bus route N518.

In the report, we stated that we had decided not to proceed with our original proposals based on the feedback received and we committed to reviewing our options for that reason.

We also committed to consulting once a new set of proposals had been developed and this proposal and consultation is the outcome of that development.

The differences between the two proposals are that:

  • In this proposal, the proposed new night route would serve Harrow Road and Greenford Road instead of Bridgewater Road and Whitton Avenue East in the previous proposal

  • In this proposal, the proposed new night route would serve Eastcote Lane and Victoria Road instead of Rayners Lane, Eastern Avenue and Elm Avenue in the previous proposal

  • In this proposal, the route number is now N118 rather than N518
