E8 to Extend to Hounslow
Changes to bus services from 28 May
In response to TfL's consultation last year on bus routes E8, 110, H28 and 635 the major change is that the E8 will now be a double decker and travel to Hounslow Bell Corner.
TfL have deferred making a decision on the proposed changes to route H28 as well as the part of route E8 which was proposed to serve Twickenham Road, West Middlesex University Hospital and Amhurst Gardens. TfL will have further discussions with the London Borough of Hounslow about these proposed changes.
Over 750 responses to the consultation were received and a petition from residents of Amhurst Gardens and Alton Close.
From 28 May 2016, the following service improvements will be made:
- Route E8 will be extended from Brentford High Street, to Hounslow Bell Corner via the A315 London Road through Isleworth. The route will no longer serve Commerce Road. Buses will all be double deck (currently both single and double deck buses operate on this route).
- Route 110 will no longer run between Hounslow bus station and West Middlesex University Hospital. It will be extended from Twickenham to West Middlesex University Hospital via Twickenham Road. It will no longer serve York Street and Arragon Road.
- School route 635 will no longer run between Hounslow bus station and Brentford County Court. It will continue to run between Hounslow bus station and St Paul’s School in Sunbury. The extension of route E8 will provide sufficient capacity between Hounslow and Brentford.
