Next steps After considering the consultation responses, as well as bus demand data, budgetary considerations and other transport information for these routes, we plan to proceed as set out below.Changes will take place in line with the phased opening of the Elizabeth line or in response to wider bus network changes and subject to any necessary changes to highway infrastructure being made by the relevant highway authorities. More details on our next steps can be found in section 5. West London Acton routes Below is a summary of the changes to services in the Acton area: • We will be changing the routeing of route 266 as consulted on. However, frequency will be reduced to every 10 minutes during Monday to Saturday day times, every 12 minutes during Sunday shopping hours and every 15 minutes during all evenings. The night service, renumbered as route N266, will continue to operate between Brent Cross and Hammersmith at night with a bus every 30 minutes • We will be introducing changes to the routeing and frequency of route 391 as consulted on • New route 218 will be introduced as consulted on. However, it will run every 12 minutes during Monday to Saturday day times rather than every 10 minutes and every 20 minutes during Sundays and evenings rather than every 15 minutes • New route 306 will operate between Acton Vale and Sand’s End (Fulham) via Askew Road, Hammersmith and Fulham Broadway using double-deck buses. It will run every 12 minutes during Monday to Saturday day times. However, it will run every 20 minutes during Sundays and evenings rather than every 15 minutes Between Acton Vale and Hammersmith, new routes 218 and 306 would be timed to provide a bus every 6 minutes during Monday to Saturday day times and every 10 minutes during Sundays and all evenings. Frequencies will be kept under review once the new routes have started running. In addition, we will be making the changes consulted on to route 440 in the Acton and Park Royal areas. However, we will not be going ahead with the changes to the 440 in the Chiswick area at this time and have consulted separately on revised
