The number 94 bus which offers a 24-hour service from Acton Green in Chiswick to Piccadilly services is to run more frequently at the weekends.
From this Saturday there will be an increase to the number of buses operating in the mornings. Instead of running roughly every quarter of an hour, the buses will now run every eight or nine minutes.
It follows a study by Transport for London (TfL) which predicts that already high passenger demand for the route will grow further.
“We are continually improving and adapting our bus network,” said Josh Freestone from TfL. “We keep frequency changes under close review to ensure demand continues to be met. The flexible nature of the network means we can make changes at relatively short notice.”
Improvements will be detailed at bus stops and shelters. The 94 runs round the clock from Acton Green to Piccadilly Circus via Askew Road, Shepherd’s Bush and Notting Hill Gate.
On Saturday mornings from 5.30am to 10am it now operates every 8-9 minutes (instead of every 10-15), while on Sunday mornings it will run every 12 minutes from 5.30am to 9am instead of every 15.
However, there is also a warning that the reliability of the bus might be affected by congestion caused by the roadworks around the A40 Westway Roundabout. From Monday 2 September, the westbound on slip road is closed as well as the northbound West Cross Route.
