The 466 bus route, which runs between Caterham on the Hill and Addington Village, has had its frequency almost halved.
Timetable check: the 466 will now only run once every 12 minutes
With effect from yesterday, April 11, the 466 now runs once every 12 minutes, instead of every eight minutes. Bus frequency on Sundays and in the evenings is now once every 15 minutes.
In an advisory notice issued by Transport for London, they said: “We continuously review services to ensure they reflect customer demand and offer value for money. As part of this work, we have identified that a change in frequency is required on route 466 at certain times to meet current and expected demand.
“This means buses will operate every 12 minutes instead of every eight minutes between 06:30 and 21:00 on weekdays and between 07:30 and 20:15 on Saturdays.”
TfL says it will keep the change “under close review”.
“We encourage customers to check their journeys using the planning tools on our website or the TfL Go app.”
