17% Cut to Crucial Lewisham Bus Route

From May 2026, the 54 bus route through Lewisham has been cut by 17% from six buses an hour to five along the entire route.

Lib Dem Mayoral candidate, Josh Matthews called it “a nonsensical decision that will make commuting harder and do nothing to discourage car traffic.”

As ever, with Labour in power at the Town Hall, City Hall and national government, there's nobody else to blame.

Lewisham Lib Dems have launched a campaign to reverse the cuts and you can sign the petition at the Campaign Page below.
