Commuters and residents in West Drayton can celebrate the return of vital bus services to the station forecourt as routes resume on Saturday, 18 January.

The restoration of services includes key routes such as the 222, U1, and U3 buses, enhancing connectivity for the area. The resumption of bus services to the forecourt further solidifies the station’s role as a key transport hub for the area, and will reinforce West Drayton’s connectivity to Greater London.

The return of bus services follows the completion of major works in December 2024 to improve the station forecourt by addressing drainage problems and improving pedestrian access to ensure safer and more accessible transport options for the community.

Assembly Member Bassam Mahfouz has long been advocating for the completion of the forecourt improvement works and the reinstatement of accessible bus services.

Bassam Mahfouz, London Assembly Member for Ealing and Hillingdon, said:

“After months of dedicated work and significant upgrades, I’m delighted to see buses once again serving West Drayton Station. This marks a huge step forward in improving accessibility and connectivity for local residents and commuters. The completion of these works represents not just an infrastructure improvement but also a meaningful enhancement to the quality of life for everyone who relies on these services.”

Danny Beales, Member of Parliament for Uxbridge and South Ruislip, said:

“I’m incredibly pleased to see the return of essential bus services to the station. As the local Member of Parliament, I’ve worked collaboratively with the GLA, Network Rail and local residents to work to get this bus back up and running. This marks a significant milestone in bettering transport links for our community, and from now on, local commuters will have a more convenient and accessible option for their everyday travel.”
