TfL introduces long term fix for 154 bus after community pressure

Community pressure has led to Transport for London (TfL) taking long-overdue action to improve the reliability of the 154 bus route.

In 2024, journeys on the 154 bus were cut short more than 2,000 times.

A petition, started by local MP Bobby Dean, demanding urgent improvements gathered over 600 signatures.

In February, TfL introduced temporary measures and has now brought forward a long term plan to improve the reliability of the 154.

The plan will see the length of time between stops increased to take account of recurring traffic and delays on the route.

Bobby Dean MP, Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament for Carshalton and Wallington said: “This is a big win for local residents who have been let down time and time again by the unreliability of the 154.

“I’m pleased TfL has finally listened to the community and taken action. Residents should see some improvement and I would encourage them to contact me if they do not.

“But either way, I’ll be keeping the pressure on to make sure these improvements actually deliver for passengers.”
