We have now published our report on the outcomes of the consultation, which you can view in the Documents section of this webpage.

We received 488 responses to the consultation. Our responses to the issues raised during the consultation is included in Appendix A of the report.

Background

London’s bus network is our most affordable, accessible, and available form of public transport and offers the main sustainable alternative to cars for those journeys that cannot easily be walked or cycled. It is also London’s most flexible mode of public transport.

We continuously review and adapt the bus network to reflect changing customer needs. This includes proposing changes to existing bus routes, so services operate in areas where our customers need them most, including serving new homes and emerging new communities such as those in the Haringey Heartlands development.

Read more about how we are increasing the number of bus journeys by making bus travel better, faster and greener in our Bus action plan.

This transformation is being led by the London Borough of Haringey and Berkeley Group, delivered by St William. Our ‘Planning for the future’ section contains more information about buses in the Haringey Heartlands area. You can also visit the website for further details.

What is proposed our route by route guide

Our proposals are designed to ensure we can support increased demand for bus services that will come in the development as new homes and communities continue to be built.

Summary of the proposals:

• Extend route 91 to Wood Green Station via Haringey Heartlands from its current terminus on Tottenham Lane in Crouch End
• Re-route the N91 to serve Haringey Heartlands instead of running on Wood Green High Road
• Withdraw route 123 from Wood Green High Road
• Withdraw route 232 from Wood Green High Road and extend the service from Wood Green Station to a new terminus in Haringey Heartlands

Equalities Impact Assessment

We have undertaken an initial Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) for these proposals. The EqIA identifies and examines in more detail what positive and negative impacts these proposals may have on individuals with protected characteristics, and how any negative impacts might be mitigated.

Impacts are detailed in the “How these proposals may change your bus journey” section.

These impacts and mitigations will be considered as part of the decision-making process on the proposals. The EqIA will be kept under review and updated to reflect any relevant new information, including information which comes in as part of the consultation process.

Connecting with London's deaf community on our consultations

British Sign Language videos of the proposals and survey are available.

To further enhance how we engage and consult with London's deaf community we are trialling a British Sign Language (BSL) consultation conversation service for this consultation. This service will allow the TfL consultation lead to have a two-way BSL translated discussion on any aspect of this consultation with a BSL speaker.

To request a BSL consultation conversation please contact us at haveyoursay@tfl.gov.uk and we will be in contact to arrange this at a convenient time. Following this trial, we will evaluate the service to determine if this is something we are able to offer on other consultations in the future.

Drop-in events

Come and talk to us at public drop-in sessions during the consultation period. No need to book. We are available in your area as follows:

• Tuesday 28 November (13:00 - 18:30), Wood Green Central Library, 187-197A High Road, London N22 6XD
  

Please come along and let us know your views. If you are unable to attend and would like to discuss the proposals further with us, please get in touch and we can respond to your queries directly.

What happens next

These proposals are subject to the outcome of our consultation. Once consultation ends on 10 December 2023, we will spend time considering all the responses we receive and will prepare a consultation report.

The consultation report will help us reach a decision about how bus routes 91, N91, 123 and 232 may change.

A copy of the report will be available to everyone that takes part in the consultation and a copy will be published on our website.
