The frequency of buses on a route through Chingford are to increase to meet demand.

Route 444, which runs between Turnpike Lane and Chingford via the North Middlesex Hospital, will see buses run every 12 minutes, rather than 15, from Monday to Saturday.

Services will also run every 15 minutes on Sunday, rather than the current 20 minutes.

John Barry, Transport for London’s head of network development for buses, said: “Route 444 has seen an increase in passenger numbers.

"We are now increasing the frequency by 25 per cent - meeting not only current demand but allowing for future growth too."
