Route 38 has served Hackney for over a century and remains a vital piece in Hackney’s public transport infrastructure.
I’ve been campaigning against Transport for London’s proposals to cut short the route 38 bus so it terminates at Holborn instead of Victoria. As well as Victoria, the 38 bus connects Hackney directly to Covent Garden, Green Park, Hyde Park, and the West End.
I’ve reminded TfL that any decision to curtail the 38 would also be in the context of previous choices cutting back direct access to London from Hackney. Thank you to everyone that has supported the campaign so far.
This Saturday 14 March, the London Bus Museum is running a Route 38 Heritage Day where you can ride for free on heritage buses dating from the 1950-1970s on the 38 bus route. See here for further details.
If you are able to join the heritage day on Saturday, please help me with my campaign by taking a selfie in or in front of the bus, attaching the Save Route 38 bus sticker (download below), and sharing it on your preferred social media channel using the hashtag #SaveRoute38. Even if you’re unable to join the heritage day, if you can take a photo on or nearby the bus, attach the sticker, and share it on your preferred social media with the hashtag #SaveRoute38– then please do.
And please don’t forget to tag me in your post so I can help show TfL the strength of feeling. My username on Instagram is @meghilliermp, on Facebook it is @Meg4Hackney, and on X it is @Meg_HillierMP
