Transport for London has altered three bus routes in north London, with changes taking effect on 1 August. The adjustments are designed to improve connections for residents of Haringey Heartlands, a car-free regeneration area that will eventually include 2,000 new homes.
Route 91, which previously terminated at Crouch End Broadway, has been extended to Wood Green. The bus now travels through Haringey Heartlands via Hornsey Park Road, Clarendon Road, Mary Neuner Road, Western Road and Mayes Road. The extension provides a direct link between Crouch End and Wood Green for the first time.

Night service and route adjustments
The night bus N91 has also been rerouted to serve Haringey Heartlands. This change ensures that night-time services match the new daytime route. Meanwhile, route 232 has been shortened and now terminates at Coburg Road, rather than continuing to its previous destination.
Transport for London stated that the changes are part of an ongoing effort to reshape the bus network in response to changing travel patterns. Geoff Hobbs, TfL’s director of public transport service planning, said the adjustments would make it easier for residents to travel across north and central London.

Impact on Haringey Heartlands residents
Haringey Council approved the scheme, which includes new pedestrian crossings and traffic calming measures. Cllr Gio Iozzi, Cabinet Member for Climate Action and Transport, said the changes would particularly benefit residents with limited mobility. The council described the scheme as the first step in transforming Haringey’s public transport infrastructure.
The Hopper fare remains unchanged. Passengers can still make unlimited bus and tram journeys within one hour for the price of a single fare. No additional costs have been introduced as part of these route changes.
What happens next
The new routes are now in operation. Transport for London has not announced any further public consultation on these changes. Residents can check updated timetables and route maps on the TfL website or at local bus stops.
