1 Introduction

Night Bus services in London have increased beyond recognition in the last 30 years. This reflects and supports changes to London’s vibrant night time economy. The current comprehensive Night Bus network means that most of zones 1 and 2 are within walking distance of a Night Bus route, and London’s suburban Night Bus service is also amongst the most comprehensive in the world. There is every indication that night time travel in London will continue to grow.

From 19 August 2016, we will be running a Friday and Saturday Night Tube service on the Central and Victoria lines. Night Tube services on the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines will follow later in the year.

This means that many of our customers will now have a choice between Night Tube or Night Bus. Our analysis indicates that customers who take the tube instead of the bus for all or part of their journey will save 20 minutes on average, and in some cases up to an hour.

When Night Tube starts, we are proposing to continue all Night Bus services, and introduce new services to help customers travel to and from Night Tube stations. This would continue the expansion of the network. If our proposals go ahead, they will contribute to another year on year increase in the number of Night Buses on the road at weekends. This increase would include improvements during this year to other services not affected by Night Tube.

Many suburban Night Tube stations are already well connected to surrounding areas by existing Night Buses. Of our 20 proposed new Night Bus services, 17 would run on Friday and Saturday nights, with three running seven nights a week1. These would help passengers start or finish their Night Tube journeys, as well as providing new travel opportunities to and from suburban local centres. All these new services would follow the same route and run between the same points as the day service.

On some Night Bus services extra buses run on Friday and Saturday nights to meet increased weekend demand. On 17 out of 117 existing Night Bus routes, where we have forecast that some passengers will chose to use Night Tube instead, it would no longer be necessary to run as many extra buses at weekends. This is based on detailed analysis of Oyster card and passenger survey data. These 17 services would continue to operate at their standard weekday frequency or more, providing a local, fully accessible service to all stops along the route.

We consulted stakeholders and the public about these proposals between 19 May 2015 and 1 July 2015.

1 Our website contains information on changes which have been implemented https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/buses/night-bus-review

We have considered the views of the public and stakeholders. This document summarises their responses to the consultation. A separate document contains our responses to the main issues raised in the consultation.

2 The consultation

The consultation was designed to enable us to better understand the views of local residents, businesses and stakeholders to learn about factors which we may not have taken into account, and so to make a better informed decision.

The potential outcomes of the consultation are:  We decide the consultation raises no issues that should prevent us from proceeding with the proposals as originally planned.  We modify the proposals in response to issues raised  We abandon the proposals as a result of issues raised

2.1 Consultation objectives The objectives of the consultation were:  To give stakeholders and the public easily-understandable information about the proposals and allow them to respond.  To understand the level of support or opposition for the changes.  To understand any issues that might affect the proposals of which we were not previously aware.  To understand concerns and objections.  To allow respondents to make suggestions.

2.2 Who we consulted The public consultation sought to seek the views of people who live near to the proposed routes, current users of the services and other potential users. We consulted stakeholders including the affected Councils, traffic police, London TravelWatch, Members of Parliament, Assembly Members and interest groups. A list of those we consulted is shown in Appendix C and a summary of their responses is given in Section 4.

2.3 Consultation material, distribution and publicity The consultation was available to view on our consultation website via https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/buses/night-bus-review

The proposed changes were made available on the website. The proposed bus route changes were in four categories:

 new Friday and Saturday night services

 new night services, seven nights a week

 changes to frequencies at weekends where some passengers will transfer to Night Tube running at least every 10 minutes

 other changes

The website had five area maps, which showed the Night Tube network interchanges, with all the night bus routes outside zone 1, the proposed new bus routes, and existing

routes which have proposed frequency changes. These maps were for North, East, South, South East and West London and are attached as appendix D.

We sent a letter to selected households whose properties had frontages to the proposed new night bus services. The criteria used included factors such as: where residents had no previous night bus service, residential rather than dual carriageway roads, proximity of houses to the carriageway, and if the road was on a hill. In total 10,497 letters were sent out. We sent a copy of these letters by email to relevant ward councillors and local authority transport lead officers. People could respond by accessing the online consultation and answering the online survey questions; and the letterhead gave the Consultation team’s address; email [email protected]; and telephone number for Customer Services on 0343 222 1234.

A list of the addresses we sent letters to is shown in appendix B.

Other stakeholders were sent an email containing a link to the online consultation page.

The consultation was advertised via a press release to the media.

A link to the online consultation was sent to registered Oyster users of all the bus routes affected. This email was sent out to 321,500 customers.

The online consultation and attached questionnaire is attached in appendix A.

There were 43 routes included in the consultation grouped together in the four categories of proposed bus route changes (new Friday and Saturday night services, new night services/ seven night a week, changes to frequencies at weekends where some passengers will transfer to Night Tube, other changes). Six of the routes had inner and outer sections with varying frequencies. The questionnaire stated we would like to hear views about the proposed services and advised respondents to skip or tick "no opinion" for those routes that were not relevant to them.

Respondents were asked if they supported the proposed services and were given a choice of three answers; yes, no, no opinion. They were also asked if they had any route specific comments through an open question.

Respondents were then asked if they had any further comments on the overall proposals through an open question.

Finally respondents were asked five generic questions relating to name, email address, postcode, organisation name (if responding on behalf of a business/stakeholder/organisation) and how they heard about the consultation.

3 Responses from members of the public

We received 3,265 responses from members of the public. There were 3,164 responses submitted online, 98 by email, and 3 by letter.

3.1 Bus routes with new Friday and Saturday night services

There were 17 routes with proposed new Friday and Saturday night services with a frequency of every 30 mins. The response to the proposals is shown in the table below.

Do you support the proposed new Friday and Saturday night services for these routes?

93% (773) 154 7% (55) 88% (385) 145 12% (52) 88% (488) 123 12% (66) 88% (580) W7 12% (79) 87.5% (434) 132 12.5% (62) 87% (347) H32 13% (50) 87% (440) 158 13% (65) 87% (462) 34 13% (70) 87% (383) 307 13% (59) Yes 87% (398) 183 13% (62) 87% (463) No 319 13% (73) 86% (348) 296 14% (55) 86% (442) 486 14% (70) 86% (420) H37 14% (67) 84% (384) E1 16% (72) 82% (567) W3 18% (122) 82% (437) 114 18% (94) 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%

Table excludes respondents stating no opinion or who did not respond

The questionnaire asked if respondents supported the proposals for each route (yes/no/no opinion). Respondents were asked to skip the question or tick no opinion if the route was not relevant to them; the table excludes these two categories.

Within the further analysis of each bus route that follows, there is at least one local map of the bus route with respondents’ postcodes plotted on it. Each dot on the map represents a respondent who stated support or opposition to the proposed bus route. The dot is positioned at the centre of the area covered by the respondent’s postcode.

Overall responses were very positive for these bus routes with proposed new Friday and Saturday services.

The highest levels of opposition were on routes W3 (18% or 122 respondents were not in support) and route 114 (18% or 94 respondents were not in support).

3.5 Further comments on the proposals

The questionnaire asked “Do you have any further comments on our proposals?”

We received 1340 comments in response. A few of these were ambiguous and may have been referring to the Night Tube. Comments shown in the table below usually state which mode the respondent was referring to – where no mode is shown, the respondent may have been referring to the Night Tube. There were 214 comments of general support.

168 respondents made comments suggesting the introduction of a new Night Bus route or routes. Most respondents mentioned a route number, whereas a few were less specific citing just an area or areas that they wanted a Night Bus to serve.

160 respondents expressed dissatisfaction with the bus frequency proposed. These respondents typically did not specify which route they were referring to, though respondents usually did this in earlier questions analysed and presented separately.

131 respondents made comments not relevant to the Night Buses proposal that didn’t fit in any other categories. These include comments such as “n/a”, “none” and a small number of comments that were difficult to interpret.

77 respondents made a comment about cost issues, how Night Buses can be a cost effective way of travelling at night, and how some of the proposals disadvantage passengers financially.

77 respondents made a comment about a bus route not mentioned in the proposals.

75 respondents made a general comment about Night Bus services in the proposals. These comments covered topics such as suggestions of better passenger information and facilities, safety and security, timetabling, reliability, comments about bus drivers and more.

4 Responses from statutory bodies and other stakeholders

This section of the report provides responses to the consultation from the following stakeholders

 Local authorities and elected representatives (London Councils, Local Authority officers and councillors, Assembly Members and Members of Parliament)  London TravelWatch and Transport User Groups  Businesses  Community and resident groups

Summary of responses from Local Authorities and elected representatives

In general there is support for the proposals. Local authorities and elected representative responses reflect those of the public regarding routes with frequency reductions.

Bus routes with proposed new Friday and Saturday night services

Where mentioned by local authorities and elected representatives these routes are supported. Routes W3 and 114, which had the highest levels of resident opposition were not mentioned.

Bus routes with proposed new night service, seven nights a week

Where mentioned by local authorities and elected representatives these routes are supported.

Bus routes with changes to frequencies at weekends where some passengers will transfer to Night Tube

Frequency increases were supported by local authorities and elected representatives. In general frequency reductions were opposed.

The highest level of resident opposition for routes with frequency reductions was on routes 94, N91, 88 and N20. This was reflected in the responses by local authorities and elected representatives:

 Route 94 frequency reduction was opposed by Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham and Kensington & Chelsea

 Route N91 frequency reduction was opposed by Enfield, Islington, Joanne McCartney AM

 Route 88 frequency reduction was opposed by Lambeth

 Route N20 was opposed by Andrew Dismore AM

Westminster opposed any night bus route from the West End Partnership area where the frequency was less than every 15 minutes. Similarly Kensington & Chelsea suggested that no central London night bus services should have a frequency of below four per hour.

Other stated opposition to routes with frequency reductions included:

 Hackney opposed routes N8 inner, N29 inner and outer, N38 inner and outer, N73

 Hammersmith and Fulham opposed routes N9 inner, 14, N97 and N207 (inner)

 Lambeth opposed route N155

 Justine Greening MP opposed route 14

Other proposed changes

Where mentioned by local authorities and elected representatives these routes are supported.

Overall comments

The response by London Councils is made on behalf of a number of Local Authorities.

London Councils and Kensington & Chelsea suggested consideration be given to less substantial frequency reductions initially when Night Tube begins and to keep levels of service under review.

Finally there were suggestions for new routes, and a number of requests for clarification and further information which will be responded to individually.

London Councils

London Councils welcomes the social and economic benefits that the introduction of the Night Tube will bring. They recognise that in some cases this will reduce demand on existing high frequency Night Bus services. In summary they want to see TfL:

 Work with boroughs (and the Police, if necessary) to address any negative impacts of people congregating at, or near, Tube stations, given that the new Friday/Saturday services will run at frequencies of every 30 minutes. TfL should monitor if it is necessary to increase the frequency of services on the proposed routes.

 Work with boroughs to address local concerns about reduced frequencies of Night Buses in their areas, to consider less substantial reductions initially when the Night Tube begins and to keep levels of service under review once changes are made.

 Make information available to boroughs, residents and businesses on the difference in journey times between those completed using a combination of the Night Tube and Night Buses compared to those completed using existing Night Buses on the most affected routes. This is in regard to the analysis by TfL that “indicates that customers who take the tube rather than the bus for all or part of their journey will save 20 minutes on average, and in some cases up to an hour”.

 Confirm that buses operating less frequently than one bus every 10 minutes will run to a published timetable with an even interval between buses.

 Consider how many people may be put off or prevented from using the Night Tube by the additional cost and whether its fare structure could accommodate a reduced Night Tube fare for frequent night time travellers. They asked that TfL should be flexible enough to consider reintroducing Night Bus services after changes are made if demand remains high.

 Undertake an Equalities Impact Assessment of the proposals and publicising the results. London Councils are concerned that many tube stations do not provide step free access from street to train and that for people that rely on the bus service the Night Tube is not a reasonable alternative.

 Work more collaboratively with boroughs on the issue of taxi ranks required as a result of the introduction of the Night Tube and keeping the level of provision required under review.

London Borough of Croydon

Croydon Council welcomes any increase in the availability of public transport for Londoners, however considers that the Night Tube and associated Night Bus changes have little or no effect on Croydon. The Council considers that the change in lifestyles and desire for increasing access throughout the night are just as strong in the borough as other parts of London.

The Council highlights gaps in the borough’s current night bus provision; for example key district centres such as Addiscombe and South Norwood are not served. They consider there is a lack of night links to Lewisham, Catford, Sutton, Wimbledon, Kingston and Heathrow. They also note that the hours of operation of the London Overground service are shorter than other forms of public transport services.

The Council suggests that a thorough and strategic review of Croydon’s (or South London’s) night bus network be carried out.

London Borough of Ealing

Cllr Bassam Mahfouz, Cabinet Member for Environment, Transport and Leisure and officers

The Council supports the proposals in general and in particular

 Routes 114, E1 and H32 (new Friday/ Saturday night services)

 Route N207(outer section) where the frequency is proposed to increase

The Council does not support

 Route 94 (where some passengers will transfer to the night tube and proposed frequency reduces)

The Council suggests that the E1 timetable should compliment the N7 timetable, which also runs every half hour and so they should be aimed to leave Ealing Broadway in between the times the N7 is expected to leave there. This would mean a bus around every 15 mins, rather than two buses every 30 mins. The Council also suggested that the choice of bus stop at Haven Green for these two services should be considered carefully. It may be most appropriate to have the Northolt/Greenford bound E1 and N7 picking up people from the same bus stop, whilst the eastbound N7 can pick up from the bus stop on the east side of Haven Green.

The Council suggests TfL consider the frequency of the N207 (inner section) from Holborn to Hayes Bypass to be every 8-10 minutes (compared to the proposed every 10 minutes). The Council also suggests a night service for the 95 bus route, which runs parallel to the West Ruislip branch of the Central Line, starting from North Acton and to beyond Greenford to Northolt and Ruislip (where it could link up with the 114 service). The Council considers a night 95 service would be well used and an easier, cheaper alternative to extending both branches of the west end of the Central line.

The Council has concerns that bus stand disturbance issues are likely to be exacerbated at night so it is imperative that drivers switch off their engines whilst on stand and keep noise to a minimum. The Council would like more adoption of low emission vehicles on TfL bus routes such as hybrid vehicles especially in Ealing. This will help reduce noise and help to address the air quality issues in the borough.

London Borough of Ealing – Cllr Ray Ward

Cllr Ray Ward supports

 Route E1 (new Friday/Saturday night service)

He stated that there had been some problems with bus drivers speeding down Drayton Bridge Rd, causing vibrations within the houses in the immediate vicinity and sought reassurance this was being addressed.

London Borough of Enfield

Cllr Daniel Anderson Cabinet Member for Environment stated that the Council supports the proposals for

 Routes 34 and 307 (new Friday/Saturday night service)

He stated that the Council feels there is a strong case for making these a 30 minute service through the night across the week. This is because of the employment and retail centres along the route as well as North Middlesex Hospital (route 34) and Barnet Hospital (route 307).

The Council does not support

 Route N91 where there is a reduction in frequency with some passengers transferring to Night Tube

The Council highlights that the night bus network will still play an important role in connecting local centres and communities. While acknowledging that while overall demand along some corridors might reduce, there is the potential for the Night Tube to actually generate additional trips on the local night bus network, as more residents take advantage of the new services.

The Council suggests a trial and see approach to the Night Tube whereby existing night bus services are maintained and usage monitored before any service reductions are considered.

London Borough of Hackney

The Council supports

 Route 47 (new 24 hour service) which will support the evening economy of Shoreditch

The Council does not support the following changes to frequencies for services where some passengers will transfer to Night Tube

 Route N8 (inner section)  Route N29 (inner and outer sections)  Route N38 (inner and outer sections)  Route N73

The Council object to the frequency reductions on these four routes directly serving Hackney as no Tube service runs through the Borough. The Council has no specific opinion

on routes not directly affecting Hackney, but in principle they would not support reductions of the total bus service 'offer' available to residents of and visitors to Hackney.

London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham

The Council does not support

 Routes where there is a reduction in frequency with some passengers transferring to Night Tube: routes N9 (inner), 14 , 94, N97 and N207 (inner)

The Council’s concerns include

 The roads along which the N9 travels will not be served by Night Tube, so there will be no decrease in demand  The proposed 30 minute service on Route 94 is not frequent enough. Although the Council accepts that some people who currently use this bus may choose to use the tube instead, they consider many bus users do not generally use the Underground, either for reasons of affordability or accessibility. The Council is concerned that 30 minutes is too long for people to wait for a bus, especially in bad weather. They consider the route is not served by a parallel tube line west of Shepherds Bush  Reducing the frequency of the Route N97 to three times an hour represents too dramatic a change in service  The reduction in the frequency of Route N207 is not justified as there is no tube west of Ealing Broadway and the bus and Central line take very different routes between Shepherd’s Bush and Ealing Broadway

London Borough of Hillingdon

Responses were received from an officer and Cllr Judy Kelly (ward councillor for South Ruislip).

The Council supports

 Route 114 (new Friday/Saturday service)

 Route 222 (new night service, seven days a week)

 Routes N9 and N207 (increased frequency on outer sections)

Hillingdon Council are interested in a potential new night bus service 350 Stockley Park to West Drayton and Heathrow. They suggested this is considered a priority as it would cater for night workers commuting between Hayes town centre and Heathrow Airport via Stockley Park Business Park.

London Borough of Havering

The Council supports

 Route 296 (new Friday/Saturday night service)

 Route N86 (increased frequency of services on Friday and Saturday nights)

London Borough of Harrow

Councillor Barry Kendler, Ward member for Edgware stated that they consulted every resident in the ward along the route of the night bus. Only one resident replied who supported the proposals although had concerns about noise of the buses.

London Borough of Islington – Cllr Claudia Webbe

Councillor Webbe (Executive Member for Environment and Transport) stated that although Islington Council welcomes the Night Tube, they have concerns about the impact on Islington’s night time centres, and more importantly on low paid shift workers.

The Council does not support

 Route N91 (service with a reduction in frequency as some passengers will transfer to night tubes)

The Council’s concerns include:

 The impact that the reduction in night bus services would have on Islington shift workers on lower incomes including cleaning, catering and medical staff. These workers may be unable to afford the higher night tube fares  The N91 runs through areas not well served by other night services and through areas with the highest levels of deprivation in the borough (along Caledonian Road and Hornsey Road), which are areas in which the local residents would struggle to pay the higher tube fares.  There is a reduction in frequency of some night bus services through Angel. Although alternative night bus services are available in the area, the Council is concerned that this will leave people waiting for a bus at the stops for longer with increased risk of anti- social behaviour

The Council is disappointed that TfL is not introducing the Night Tube along the Bank branch of the Northern Line, as this would serve Islington’s main night time centres at Old Street (and Shoreditch) and Angel.

London Borough of Lambeth

Councillor Christopher Wellbelove (councillor for Clapham Town Ward) does not support

 Routes 88 and N155 (which have a reduction in frequency as where some passengers will transfer to the night tube service).

He considers these two services are currently extremely oversubscribed especially the N155 which often is impossible to get onto. The Councillor feels the reduction also does not take into consideration the number of people on low-incomes working anti-social hours who cannot afford tube fares and will suffer a poorer service.

London Borough of Newham

Councillor David Christie (councillor for Beckton ward) supports:

 Route 158 (new Friday/Saturday night service)

 Route 238 (new night service, seven days a week)

 Bus routes with changes to frequencies at weekends where some passengers will transfer to Night Tube

 Route N86

Councillor Christie also suggests:

 Increasing frequencies of the 238 at weekends

 Increasing frequencies of night and day services on 104 and 238, and better timetabling and management of these services during the day to provide the best service for the shared part of the route

 Further services to provide additional accessibility from tube stations e.g. Stratford, West Ham and Canning Town within Newham and making route 262 from Stratford a night bus as there is a lack of north south services within Newham.

 Increase frequency of the N551 service from Canning Town Outer to create a better service linking in with the night Jubilee line

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea

The Council welcomes the introduction of all night Underground services, and feels it is right that TfL should review demand for night bus services so as to ensure that it does not waste money running empty buses in the middle of the night.

The Council does not support the following routes where there is a reduction in the frequency of services with some passengers transferring to Night Tube

 Route N9 (inner section)

 Route 94

 Route N97

 Route N207 (inner section)

The Council has concerns

 that reductions in service frequency on the bus network will have the greatest impact on those who are unable to take advantage of the improved Underground service (e.g. people on low incomes, people with reduced mobility) 99

 that 30 minutes is too long for people to wait for a bus, especially in bad weather

The Council suggests

 that no central London night bus services should have frequencies below four buses per hour

 frequencies could be reduced less dramatically to begin with, and should be kept under review once the night-time Underground services have begun.

 Where buses are removed, it is done in such a way so as to ensure an even interval between the remaining buses. The Council also expects that buses will continue to run to a published timetable in all cases where buses are less frequent than one every ten minutes.

London Borough of Redbridge

Responses were received from an officer and Cllr John Howard (Aldborough Ward). The Council supports

 Routes 123 and 296 (new Friday/ Saturday night services)

They noted that the bus route N8 will face a slight reduction at the outer section. The Council feels that with the increase in other routes, and the night tube, this is understandable.

London Borough of Sutton

The Council supports

 Route 154 route (new Friday/Saturday night service) and would like to see this extended to the rest of the week

The Council would like consideration to be given to diverting the night time services on route 154 via Throwley Way and Carshalton Road in Sutton town centre rather than Benhill Avenue, Lower Road, Westmead Road and Ringstead Road. This would better serve the night time economy in Sutton which is concentrated at the top of the High Street, and mean night buses would not have to run on these residential roads.

The Council asked that the timings of the buses will, as far as possible, connect with the night tubes if the frequency is lower than the standard daytime frequency.

London Borough of Waltham Forest – Cllr Tim Bennett-Goodman

Councillor Tim Bennett-Goodman (councillor for Higham Hill Ward) supports

 Route 158 (new Friday/Saturday evening service)

While supportive he would welcome a service during the week to help night/shift workers get to work. 100

He also stated that it should not be assumed that passengers will automatically transfer to tubes and that poorer people generally reply on buses more.

City of Westminster

The City Council supports

 all bus routes with new Friday and Saturday night services  all bus routes with new proposed night services seven days a week  all bus routes with extra buses at weekend where some passengers will transfer to night tube where the proposed frequency is greater than every 15 minutes

The City Council does not support

 any Night Bus route from the West End Partnership area in particular, and across Westminster in general, that has a frequency below four buses per hour

The City Council has concerns that people will not be boarding or alighting a bus near to an underground station and is concerned that they may have to wait for 30 minutes which is considered to be a long period. The City Council feels that extensions from say 7-10 minutes to 15 minutes are understandable as it is accepted that some people will transfer to the underground and therefore a minor adjustment to bus frequencies is supported in this context.

The City Council suggests that the changes are subject to a review of patronage and frequency 12 months after the changes are implemented.

The City Council supports

 the other proposed route changes (47, N47, N199, 188, N1, N86, N133 and N381).

For these routes the City Council considers that whilst some are more than 15 minute frequencies on Friday-Saturday, and rest of the week nights, they do not represent a reduction in frequency to the present day network, and acknowledge that the N86 will increase in frequency on Friday and Saturday nights.

The City Council requests that all new contracts with operators stipulate that engine idling at Terminal Stands does not occur and that good on-street supervision is provided. The City Council also requests that consideration be given by TfL with the City Council to creating 'Shared Use' bays on a consolidated number of Terminal Stands across the West End. The released kerbside bays could be used by alternative needs such as West End Taxi ranking, freight deliveries to businesses and Theatre Coach set down and pick up bays as part of the wider West End Partnership proposals.

London Assembly members

Andrew Dismore – Assembly Member (Barnet and Camden)

Andrew Dismore welcomes the new Night Tube. However he does not support the proposals for

 Routes 134, N5 and N20 where there are frequency reductions as some passengers will transfer to the night tube.

The Assembly Member states these are bus routes used by the workers of the night-time economy as well as its consumers. Employees who work unsociable hours; often on minimum wage and who depend on a regular service to get them to and from work or home. He considers that by reducing the frequency of these services TfL is forcing low paid workers to use the more expensive Underground which does not offer the same service or connections as buses. He feels that by this will result in low paid workers having to walk longer distances at night.

Joanne McCartney – Assembly Member (Enfield and Haringey)

Joanne McCartney supports

 Routes 123, 307, W3 and W7 (new Friday/Saturday night services)

However she does not support

 Route N91 (reduction in frequency due to passengers transferring to Night Tube)

Her concerns are:

 The difference in price between tube fares and bus fares and that people on low incomes may not be able to afford to travel by tube  Many people will still rely on night buses to get them that much closer to their front door, particularly in Outer London where there are fewer tube stations and the distance between stations is typically greater  Longer waiting times for buses and particular concern for vulnerable passengers  Not all tube stations have step free access and therefore TfL will need to ensure that any reductions to the night bus network do not disproportionately impact on passengers with disabilities. Adequate numbers of staff need to be available to aid passengers that require assistance, be it with the ticket machines or accessing the tube.  The safety of staff and passengers is of upmost importance, particularly given that the night tube is running on Friday and Saturday nights when people are most likely to be under the influence of alcohol, and assaults on London Underground staff have increased  Staffing levels at Underground stations  That the reduction to some of the night bus services may leave Londoners feeling less safe, particularly in the outer boroughs such as Enfield and Haringey. Passengers must

102

not be forced to wait long times at secluded bus stops or walk long distances home from the tube station at night as a result of these changes.

The Assembly Member suggests to help mitigate these concerns, TfL could provide real time night bus information at all night tube stations so passengers have the choice of waiting there instead of the bus stop itself.

Richard Tracey - Assembly Member (Merton and Wandsworth)

Richard Tracey is mainly concerned about route N319. He stated that the residents of Broomwood Road SW11 are most concerned about excess noise during the night. Several years ago they campaigned to have road humps removed and noisy buses replaced with quiet ones. He stated that they are now worried that their good works and success will be frustrated.

103

Members of Parliament

Tom Brake MP Carshalton & Wallington

Tom Brake MP supports

 Route 154, 319 (new Friday/Saturday night services)

 Route N155 (reduced frequency at weekends where some passengers will transfer to night tube)

 Route N133 (extended to Mitcham via Morden)

He suggested that it would be good for the 154 route to include a stop by Carshalton College for students that live in the surrounding area.

He considers that the night tube proposals mean it would be quicker on the tube to towns covered on the N155. Reducing the frequency of the (N155) service would decrease traffic on the road and emissions.

Overall Tom Brake considers services into Surrey should be made more accessible.

Jane Ellison MP Battersea, Balham and Wandsworth

Jane Ellison is very supportive of the Night Tube and the benefits this will bring both to her constituents and London as a whole.

She raised the concerns of residents of Broomwood Road, SW11 about the proposed changes to the route 319 service to a Friday and Saturday night service. Residents have suggested:

 The 319 route should utilise the most modern, hybrid buses, that are significantly quieter and less polluting than the older models  Broomwood Road would need more regular maintenance and repair, to ensure the integrity of the road surface, given greater usage  Buses on this route would need regular maintenance to reduce noise (for example, from brakes, malfunctioning engines or cooling mechanisms).

Justine Greening MP Putney, Roehampton & Southfields

Justine Greening welcomes the improvements to the Night Bus service. She states that the Wimbledon branch of the District Line is the only tube line in her constituency. Residents will be for the most part dependent on the night bus service alone.

She does not support

 Route 14 (reduced frequency at weekends where some passengers will transfer to night tube)

She acknowledged while this is still relatively frequent compared to some night bus services she is concerned that this will penalise local residents with no additional Night Tube option.

104

Teresa Pearce MP Erith and Thamesmead

Teresa Pearce MP welcomes the increase in travel options on Friday and Saturday nights.

She notes that while her Thamesmead constituency is not served directly by the tube, people do use the Jubilee Line to North Greenwich and connect into the bus network for journeys to and from her area. A number of people commute outside normal working hours, often to low paid jobs in areas like docklands.

She has concerns

 How well the night bus services from North Greenwich will be able to support the new passenger activity from the Jubilee line service  Of the safety of people potentially waiting for long periods for buses, in a place where there may not be much security cover such as North Greenwich

105

London TravelWatch

London TravelWatch generally supported the proposals.

They requested information on how passengers will know the difference between buses that run on weekend nights only and those that run every night. They asked how this will be indicated on the destination blind, bus stop flag, maps etc.

They also requested to know what monitoring of demand for night bus services will be undertaken.

Transport User Groups and Committees

Clapham Transport Users Group

The Group does not support

 Routes 88 and N155 (reduced frequency at weekends where some passengers will transfer to night tube)

The Group highlighted problems of night time disorder in Clapham and the importance of transport in shifting large crowds. The Group has a number of concerns in relation to the reduced frequencies of these two bus services:

 people with reduced mobility or disabled people, who cannot use the Tube in Clapham, will be impacted by a reduction in the frequency of the bus services on Friday and Saturday nights  that some people will not use the Tube as there could be large numbers of drunken people on the narrow platforms at Clapham North and Clapham Common Tubes.  if a half hourly bus service was cancelled then people would have to wait a long time for a bus and be at risk from illegal taxi touts  the 88 and N155 pass through areas not directly near a Tube for example South Lambeth Road

The Group has suggestions for expanding the Night Bus routes in the area for example a Stockwell-Hounslow service via Clapham and Putney and extending the N155 from Morden to Sutton.

East Surrey Transport Committee

The Committee considers Croydon is well served by night bus services however, there are still some gaps in the night network to neighbouring boroughs and to two large local district centres within Croydon with large residential populations (Addiscombe and South Norwood). They suggest:

 Route 154 should run all night every night and be extended from Morden to Wimbledon. This would also have the advantage of providing a direct night bus service between Wimbledon and Sutton.  Route 75 should run all night to provide a service to Catford and Lewisham (this would serve South Norwood)

106

 For Addiscombe that either the 54 be extended from Elmers End to Croydon as the N54 or the existing night services on route 119 be diverted via Cherry Orchard Road, Lower Addiscombe Road and Shirley Road and be renumbered N119  Alternatively extend the 176 from Penge to Croydon as route N176 via South Norwood and Addiscombe following route 75 to the Goat House Bridge and then via Manor Road and the 312 route terminating at Central Croydon.

Harrow Public Transport Users Group Association

The Association supports

 Routes 114 and 183 (new Friday/Saturday night services)

The Association suggests that TfL consider making these routes a 24/7 service throughout the week.

They are disappointed that neither the H12 nor 340 are to be 24 hour services on Friday and Saturday nights and suggest that these could be considered at a later date.

Potters Bar and St Albans Transport User Group

The Group supports

 Routes 34,114, 123, 183, 307, E1, W3, W7 (new Friday/Saturday night services)  Route 222 (new night service, seven days a week)  Routes 14, 88, 94, 134, N5, N29 (inner and outer), N91, N207 (inner and outer) (routes with frequency changes at weekends where some passengers will transfer to Night Tube)

The Group does not support

 Route 238 (new night service, seven days a week)

 Route N20 (route with frequency reduction at weekends where some passengers will transfer to Night Tube)

The Group considers that the 238 duplicates the Great Eastern rail route.

The Group suggested

 that there should be four routes linking up North, South, East and West outer London for journeys avoiding zones 1 and 2

 Night Bus services may be required for Tottenham Hotspur FC if plans proceed for a Lonon based NFL franchise which would play late evenings at weekends to suit peak TV times in the US and Asia

 TFL review Airport service provision, given that people travelling to/from major events may need to get to Heathrow/ Gatwick/ Luton/ Stansted or Southend

 Consider a 24/7 service where possible on the GLA sections of Crossrail and Thameslink 107

They had concerns that capacity at Trafalgar Square may become cramped with many people and night buses which could cause pollution.

108

Businesses

Barfly Camden

Barfly Camden supports

 Routes W3 and W7 (new Friday/Saturday night services)

The organisation does not support

 Routes 134 and N20 (reduced frequency at weekends where some passengers will transfer to night tube)

The organisation noted that licensing enforcement puts responsibility on venues to encourage swift dispersal of customers during the early hours and therefore they support proposals by TfL to provide more transport options at night. They also raised specific safety concerns for women at night.

Heathrow Airport

Heathrow Airport supports

 Route N9 bus service to Heathrow (increased frequency of service)

The Airport is concerned that the 24 Night Tube that is coming into operation will not run to Terminal 4. They stated there is no mechanism for passengers or airport colleagues to move from Terminal 5 or Central Heathrow to get to Terminal 4. They suggest to convert either the 490 or 482 to run 24 hours which could connect T5 and T4 throughout the night. This would provide an additional south side link to Heathrow for airport workers that need to arrive for their early shift before 04:00 hours.

109

Community and resident groups

ASPRA – Addiscombe and Shirley Park Residents’ Association

A representative from the Association stated their support for the proposals.

They suggested it would be good if the X26 to and from Heathrow could continue at night.

Beddington North Neighbourhood Forum

A representative from the Forum stated that they support

 Route 154 (new Friday/Saturday night service)

They stated that they would like to see the service operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Carshalton Beeches Residents Association

A representative from the Association stated that they support

 Route 154 (new Friday/Saturday night service)  Route N155 (frequency change at weekends where some passengers will transfer to night tube)  Route N133 (other proposed change)

They stated that they would like to see the Night Bus from central London to Sutton/Croydon reinstated.

They considered that the consultation should have had a higher profile, as it was only bought to their attention by their MP.

Charecroft Tenants and Residents Association

A representative from the Association stated that they do not support

 Route 94 (reduced frequency at weekends where some passengers will transfer to night tube)

They stated they would like to see the frequency maintained or improved, not decreased.

Flightpath Residents Association

A representative from the Association stated that they supported all the proposals.

They consider route 154 is essential to night time workers in clubs and pubs in Croydon and Sutton. They suggest further night bus services should be provided to reduce the risk of people using unlicensed taxis.

110

London Forum of Civic and Amenity Societies

A representative from the Forum stated they support all of the proposals with the exception of Route N207 (inner). They considered this route would need a higher rather than lesser frequency.

They consider there are some sections of routes generally well served by Night Tube that are not well served by Night Bus; Lea Bridge Road (N38) and Stoke Newington (N73).

They suggest there is an appraisal of the impact of the changes after six months where frequency on the routes has been reduced and after twelve months for other routes.

London LGBT and Community Pride CIC (Community Interest Company)

A representative from the Group stated that they support

 All the routes with proposed new Friday/Saturday night services  All the routes with proposed new night services, seven nights a week  Routes N9 (outer) and N207(outer) with proposed frequency increases at weekends and route N29 (outer) which has no change in frequency  Other proposed changes for routes 47, N47, 188, N86, N133 and N381

They do not support

 Routes 88, 94, N5, N8 (inner), N20, N91, N97, N98 (inner and outer), N155 and N207 (inner) – routes with reduced frequency at weekends where some passengers will transfer to night tube

The representative stated concerns for people with mobility problems as buses can be more accessible than tube stations in central London.

South East London Housing Co-op Forum

A representative from the Forum stated that they support

 Routes 47, N47, N199, 188, N1 and N381(other proposed changes)

Upper Drive Neighbourhood Watch

The Chair of the Upper Drive Neighbourhood Watch does not support

 Route 145 (new Friday/Saturday night service)

The Chair stated that the Neighbourhood Watch is concerned about the noise and vibrations from existing bus services (366 and 145), and considers the area is already well

111

served by the Underground and Night Bus services. The Chair stated concerns that the new service will damage quality of life and have a detrimental effect on property prices. An email was also received from a household which is part of the Upper Drive Neighbourhood Watch in support of the proposed new service. They considered that the members of the Neighbourhood Watch had not been consulted. They consider that this service would provide a good link for residents on The Drive and adjacent roads. They considered the proposed night bus service will provide the last link home particularly for those who are less able bodied and not able to walk the distance from the station.

Yiewsley & West Drayton Town Centre Action Group

The Action Group supports

 Route 222 (new night service, seven night a week)
