TfL proposes axing suspended Streatham night bus route 319 Submitted by daniel on Tue, 21/01/2025 - 10:49 Picture Image A consultation has been launched to axe late night buses at the weekend for route 319 between Sloane Square and Streatham Hill. These services have been suspended since the pandemic, but TfL plans to now make this change permanent. Transport bosses say they have made the decision because there was “limited” use of the route before the pandemic, so its reintroduction cannot be justified. They add that as the route is already suspended, withdrawing it completely “would not impact any existing passengers”.
