Two south London bus routes will be changed despite backlash - This is Local London

Transport for London (TfL) has confirmed that it is pressing ahead with planned changes to routes 45 and 59 despite widespread concern from local people in a consultation.

Route 45 currently runs between Elephant & Castle and Clapham via Camberwell and Brixton.

But its timetable will now be amended during February next year so that it instead travels between Camberwell and Morden.

The changes have been proposed so that the route can replace the 118 between Brixton and Morden, which will be scrapped at the same time.
