Waltham Abbey Bus Services

Key information

Petition presented by: Emma Best Assembly Member

Date petition submitted: Thursday 8 February 2024

Petition presented at: London Assembly Plenary

Summary of petition

“We the undersigned call on Transport for London, Essex County Council and the Mayor of London to support:

  • The extension of London Buses route 215 (which currently terminates at the Lea Valley Campsite on Sewardstone Road – just within the Waltham Abbey boundary, but in an inaccessible location on the edge of the town boundary), and London Buses route 379 (which also terminates on Sewardstone Road), to at least Waltham Abbey Town Centre, to restore public transport between Waltham Abbey and neighbouring Chingford, including a restored link to Chingford Station.
  • The restoration of London bus services between Waltham Abbey and Loughton tube station. The current '66' and '66A' services are unfit for purpose.
  • The restoration of the Waltham Cross to Upshire section of London Buses route 317, which would restore the direct link between Waltham Abbey and Enfield, and thereby create a TfL bus link between Waltham Abbey and its nearest station (Waltham Cross).
  • The extension or creation of other London Buses routes to serve Waltham Abbey – sufficient public transport links to other areas, including Cheshunt and Epping (both previously linked to Waltham Abbey with London Buses), as well as Harlow, are vital.”
