Why did TfL keep everyone waiting over a year after the consultation on the 384 closed in November 2018, with the community partnership specialists implying a public meeting in the meantime wasn't necessary because they would be considering other options?

The 384 towards Cockfosters seems to have become unreliable in the late afternoon, with gaps often significantly longer than every 20 minutes. As this is already low frequency, it has more of an impact. I believe this is down to traffic jams on the A1 northbound. Could TfL adapt the timetable at rush hour to take this into account?

TfL seem to have stalled on the decision to introduce a new northbound bus stop for High Barnet station on Barnet Hill, closer to the lower station access path. This is despite forming part of the 384 consultation and the stated decision to go ahead with everything in the consultation. Why is the only aspect of the consultation that would improve passenger journeys in Barnet now being sidelined?

Residents presented TfL with an option for adapting route 383 to re-serve roads left without a service. TfL conceded that this option could work, if TfL were willing to add one more vehicle to route 383 for example (as they did when extending the southern terminus to Finchley Memorial Hospital), or reduce driver waiting time at each terminus. Route 384 could then be restored to Northfield/Castlewood Road as this would not actually take longer than their plan to double-run round Mount Pleasant Roundabout. Will TfL now consider this?

An initial Equalities Impact Assessment of the 384 bus changes suggested the removal of most of the sections in New Barnet would create a high negative impact on equalities groups, particularly elderly and disabled people, bearing in mind the longer walking distances and hilly terrain. Then TfL deleted this EqIA from their website and replaced it with a different one that didn't discuss or rate the negative impacts. Why did this happen, and will TfL review the EqIA to reflect these issues?

Why does TfL consider the 44% drop in passenger numbers (adjusted for pandemic travelling numbers) travelling on the 384 east of Barnet Everyman Cinema since the changes, to be a success that doesn't need changing/revisiting? The High Barnet to Edgware section is doing well in terms of numbers - surely TfL want this for High Barnet to Cockfosters too?

Following on from the impact assessment on the changes to the 384 bus, consideration does not seem to have been given to the number of issues: - increased walking time and difficulty for elderly and mobility-impaired people; - increased difficulty for carers and care workers in accessing residents' homes; - increased difficulty accessing shopping facilities especially ALDI supermarket in Brookhill Road; and - concerns about the impact of longer walks back home on the safety of women. How does TfL propose to deal with these issues?
