Party animals crossing the river from south London into Shoreditch are loving the Route 35 bus’s increased frequency, according to Transport for London (TfL).
London’s public transport body found that people living in Camberwell, Elephant and Castle and Borough often travel to enjoy north London’s nightlife.
So the Route 35 bus from Clapham Junction to Shoreditch has increased from four to five buses per hour between 7.45pm and 12.30am.
London Night Czar Amy Lamé said: “London’s life at night plays a vital role in our economic and social recovery and it’s fantastic that Route 35 has increased in frequency, giving more opportunities for Londoners to get to and from evening and weekend shifts or make the most of an evening out.”
It’s not just night owls benefitting from the change. Customers using the service to access rail connections from Liverpool Street are also reaping the rewards.
Sunday day-trippers heading home from days exploring Borough Market, The Shard and Sky Garden, will also be pleased.
Geoff Hobbs, TfL’s Director of Public Transport Planning, said: “We keep our bus network under constant review, which allows us to be agile and make changes that reflect the evolving ways customers use our services.
“Route 35 is a vital cross-river bus link connecting thousands of people living south of the river with attractions in central London and these new frequency changes are cutting waiting times at stops, making the bus an even more convenient, not to mention cost-effective, way to travel.”
Customers can check their journeys on the TfL website or on the free TfL Go app. More information about route 35, including timetables, is available at https://tfl.gov.uk/bus/route/35/
