TfL is proposing changes to to bus routes 698, 697 and new school route 695

Consultation link: https://haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/route-698?cid=route-698

Proposals

To improve school bus services for The Douay Martyrs Catholic School, we propose to:

• Introduce a NEW school bus route 695 between West Drayton and The Douay Martyrs Catholic School via Falling Lane and Cherry Lane
• Reroute school bus 698 between Hayes and The Douay Martyrs Catholic School via Hayes Town and Bourne Avenue
• The last stop on school bus routes 698, 697 and 695 would be at Swakeleys Drive, instead of Ickenham Station
• School bus routes 698 and 697 would no longer stop at Hillingdon station in either direction

Benefits of the proposals include:

• Faster journey times for West Drayton, Yiewsley and Hayes
• More capacity where it’s needed
• Encourage students to travel by bus, instead of car

(and even more buses parking up in Long Lane waiting to pick up students!!!)
