Transport for London have confirmed that they are making some changes to schooldays only bus routes 618 and 619. These routes run between Mill Hill or Edgware and Eastcote, Eastern Avenue, for the temporary site of Avanti House School.
Route 618
Route 618 runs from Mill Hill via Burnt Oak, Queensbury, Wealdstone and Harrow town centre to the school.
From 11 September 2017 both morning journeys will be retimed slightly, and both afternoon journeys will be retimed slightly on Tuesdays to Fridays. Both afternoon journeys will also be retimed significantly on Mondays due to a change in school finish time.
In the morning, buses will depart Mill Hill Broadway station at 06:40 and 06:50 (no change) but will pick up from other stops along the route up to four minutes earlier, arriving at Eastern Avenue at 07:42 and 07:52 (previously 07:46 and 07:56).
In the afternoon, buses will depart Eastern Avenue at 15:40 and 15:46 on Tuesdays to Fridays (no change), and 14:40 and 14:46 on Mondays. They will serve other stops along the route up to three minutes earlier or later on Tuesdays to Fridays, and about one hour earlier on Mondays.
