Questions to the Mayor of London – answered at on 22 December 2021.
The 384 towards Cockfosters seems to have become unreliable in the late afternoon, with gaps often significantly longer than every 20 minutes. As this is already low frequency, it has more of an impact. I believe this is down to traffic jams on the A1 northbound. Could TfL adapt the timetable at rush hour to take this into account?
As traffic levels have increased and schools returned in September, reliability on route 384 has declined towards Cockfosters due to congestion on the A1 and the approach to Apex Corner at Selvage Lane. Traffic conditions have varied markedly throughout the pandemic, making it challenging to determine typical running times. Transport for London will though continue to monitor performance on the route.
