Restarting Route 812 in 2022!
We are re-starting the 812 bus service from 16th May 2022 on an hourly timetable from 9.30am to 5.20pm (subject to timetable issue) between Monday to Friday (except public holidays). The hourly timetable is available here.
We have been experiencing driver recruitment issues so have started the service on an hourly basis so residents can benefit sooner from the service restarting. We will resume a 30-minute timetable as soon as the recruitment issues are resolved.
Due to the small size of the buses, we will ask passengers to wear masks to minimise the risk of catching or passing on Covid-19 while using the 812 service.
If you have any questions about the 812 bus service restarting, please feel free to contact us on 020 7275 2414.
