New Bus Route 306 Introduced in Hammersmith

---

Running every 12 minutes north to Acton Vale and south to Fulham's riverside

 

Hammersmith has a new bus service running through the Broadway Bus Station to Askew Road and Acton Vale to the north and West Kensington and Fulham's riverside to the south.

The 306 route runs from Sainsbury's in Fulham's Sands End, through West Kensington, Hammersmith Bus Station, Askew Road and on to Acton Vale.

The new service, which was announced by Transport for London in September, replaces parts of routes 391 and 266.

The 391 which used to run between Richmond and Sands End no longer serves Fulham, running only from Richmond to Hammersmith.

This means passengers wishing to continue on the rold route now have to swap buses at Hammersmith Bus Station, though as TfL point out, this does not cost them extra as the Hopper fare allows them to make a free further journey within an hour.

TfL say that the new service runs every 12 minutes on Monday to Saturday and every 20 minutes in the evenings and on Sunday, is part of its commitment to increasing outer London’s bus network.

Geoff Hobbs, Director of Public Service Planning at TfL, said: "We are committed to improving and growing the bus network in outer London and to help customers access local amenities more easily.

"The new 306 bus route is a really positive development for customers in west London, providing a new direct connection and additional capacity between Askew Road, West Kensington and Fulham."

As the map, produced when route 306 was first proposed, shows, from Acton Vale the 306 runs down Askew and Ravenscourt Roads to Hammersmith Broadway then continues to Wet Kesington, Hammersmith Bus Station, North End Road, Fulham Broadway, then Imperial and Townmead Roads.
