Transport for London (TfL) is proposing to make changes to routes 45, 59 and 118 between Elephant & Castle, Camberwell, Brixton, Clapham Park, Streatham and Morden.

As shown in the map below, the proposal would include a merger of routes 45 and 118, and the 118 would no longer run. The proposals are explained in more detail, route-by-route, on TfL's website here.

TfL says that the changes are intended to make the bus service more efficient, which could save money that can be reinvested in other parts of the London bus network. 

TfL is holding a six-week public consultation to hear feedback on the proposed changes. The consultation survey closes on Sunday 13 October 2024. You can respond to the survey by:

Route 45 and 118

TfL proposes merging routes 45 and 118, eliminating the 118 and replacing it with a single route that runs between Morden and Camberwell.

Route 59

TfL proposes rerouting the 59 to end at Clapham Park/Atkins Road instead of Streatham Hill/Telford Avenue.
