Instead, it would take me about an hour and a half to get home via Golders Green, or even 2 hours on a really bad day. Im sure tfl could make savings from scaling back other bus services - like the W7 into a single deck bus, and make the 603 more regular? I've been looking for a job at the royal free, but the thought of those transports issues really puts me off the idea of working there. Thinking about it- It must make tfl so much more money to have such a fragmented service. Hi,

And it wouldn't be the council - it would be Transport for London. Let me know if you have heard something about this - as it is a vital route for school children as well as others who like you, work in Hampstead and have this impossible journey.

It's impossible to drive there because there is no where to park, the tube takes so long. So the only sensible way is bus, the 603. Surely the council aren't going to remove it!!! There is no other way to easily get across north without having a nightmare. Hello, I live in Muswell hill and I’ve just landed a job in hampstead.

And will they give you figures broken down by journey type? Experience using the buses in central London is that many people do not Touch In, for various reasons (legit and the rest), so don't get counted. Get on via the driver and flash an ENCTS bus pass (what a failure by DfT to create a brand - these are the outside London issued bus passes for the elderly and disabled) and the driver might, just might occasionally press a button on the ticket machine.
