94
Bus Schedule to be extended Bus
services between central London and Acton Green will be improved after pressure
from local residents and Hammersmith and Fulham Council. After
negotiations between the council and Transport for London (TFL), it has been agreed
to upgrade the current route 94 between Piccadilly Circus, Shepherds Bush and
Acton Green. From
Saturday, 1 February next year the route will run from central London to Acton
Green all day, instead of its current limited service, in addition there will
be more buses along the route. Deputy
for environment, Councillor Michael Cartwright said: “The council asked TFL to
increase the frequency of buses travelling between central London and Acton Green,
and we are pleased they have listened." At
present, the route between Piccadilly Circus and Acton Green runs during Monday
to Saturday shopping hours, with alternate buses from the east running only as
far as Shepherds Bush Green, which has caused some overcrowding problems to the
west of Shepherds Bush. Cllr
Cartwright said: “To overcome the current problems the 94 service will run to
Acton Green always, with the added bonus of an extra six departures from Piccadilly
Circus on Mondays to Fridays between 7 and 9pm. “The
Sunday shopping period service will also be increased from the current bus every
10 minutes to a bus every 8 minutes.” November
