This bus route ends here – everything changes for 211 and 77 services – South London News

Changes are being made to two bus routes operating in Lambeth and Wandsworth to improve access to busy leisure destinations, according to Transport for London (TfL).

From tomorrow, there will be changes to the 211 and 77 bus routes to improve travel links to and from Battersea Power Station and accommodate Lambeth council’s plans to pedestrianise Concert Hall Approach in the Waterloo area.

Route 211 will be rerouted at Sloane Square, running to and from the popular Battersea Power Station via Chelsea Bridge Road, Chelsea Bridge and Queenstown Road, creating a number of new links to other services, theoretically making customer journeys easier.

Route 211 will no longer operate between Sloane Square and Waterloo Station via Victoria Bus Station, Victoria Station, Westminster or St Thomas’ Hospital.

Customers traveling between Sloane Square and Waterloo can change at the same bus stop for route 11 at Sloane Square/Lower Sloane Street (M station) to Waterloo, and at Sloane Square station (K station) for journeys to Hammersmith.

Route 11 will continue to serve the same stops between Sloane Square and Waterloo as the 211 once the changes take place.

There will be no change to the frequency of route 211with buses continuing to run every 10 minutes during the day Monday to Saturday and every 15 minutes every evening and all day on Sundays.

Route 77 will be rerouted between St Thomas’ Hospital and Waterloo Station, with buses terminating at the Waterloo station entrance (station C) on Cab Road via Station Approach Road from the County Hall roundabout.

This will allow Lambeth council to make changes to the Concert Hall Approach to support the South Bank Spine trail improvement programme.

Bus stops for route 77 in both directions will move to the Waterloo station entrance, which should make it easier for customers to interchange rail services at one of London’s busiest stations.

The frequency of route 77 will remain the samee, with buses continuing to run every 10 minutes during the day from Monday to Saturday and every 12 minutes every evening and Sunday.

Geoff Hobbs, TfL’s director of public transport service planning, said: “We are continuously working to improve and adapt our bus network according to customer demandaproviding affordable and sustainable public transport options where possible.

“Working with local councils and partners, we are constantly monitoring and revising our bus network to accommodate popular tourist and leisure destinations and any new developments within the community, making it more convenient and accessible for Londoners and tourists alike .”
