Transport for London (TfL) announced proposals on July 24 to alter bus services in North London. The plans include changing the northern terminus of the 149 bus route from Edmonton Green to Wood Green. London Bridge will remain the southern terminus for the 149.
Additionally, TfL has proposed withdrawing the 67 bus route, which currently runs between Dalston and Wood Green. Weekday peak frequencies for the 149 bus are also slated for reduction, from a service every seven minutes to one every eight minutes.

Opposition to Proposed Changes
A petition opposing these changes has been initiated by Denzel's World. The group highlights that many residents in the affected North London areas rely heavily on bus services due to a lack of London Underground connections.
The petition states that the 149 route is one of London's busiest, carrying approximately 12 million passengers annually. It is described as the only bus route in the Enfield borough connecting Edmonton Green to London Bridge.
Hillingdon Council opposes Mayor's housing plan
The council argues the draft plan disproportionately targets the borough's green spaces for development.
Campaigners argue that losing this link will force passengers to make multiple changes for journeys, particularly as the 349 route is also reportedly being withdrawn. This would leave the 259 and 279 routes as the primary services along the A1010 corridor.
TfL's Rationale
TfL stated that some services along the A10 and A1010 corridors, specifically between Edmonton Green and Stamford Hill, are underused and have surplus capacity. The transport authority indicated that the proposed changes aim to address this.
Residents affected by the proposed changes have until Sunday, September 20, to submit their feedback to TfL's consultation.
