Has anyone heard anything about/ does anyone have any opinions about bus routes in central London once Crossrail is open?
Over the last few years, the disruption/ diversions caused by this massive infrastructure project have been justification for some of the gradual cuts by TfL (e.g. fewer "north-south" routes crossing from one side of Oxford Street to the other).
So I don't know whether going back to "normal" will mean some buses can go back to their old routes?
Or will the east-west mass transportation mean a reduction in some parallel bus services (8, 25)? Possibly less likely as Crossrail will have fewer stops (per mile) than Underground lines generally have.
Or will the desire to reduce bus services on/ around Oxford Street mean continued retrenchment (but TfL will have to come up with a different excuse, since they can't blame Crossrail roadworks)?
