378 aims to assist residents affected by closure of Hammersmith Bridge

Transport for London (TFL) have announced plans to launch two new bus routes including one from Mortlake to Putney to assist residents affected by the closure of Hammersmith Bridge. The new 378 bus will start on August 3.

The 378 will operate across Avondale Road and Putney Bridge via Mortlake High Street, Barnes Bridge Station, Station Road and Mill Hill Road.

A spokesperson for TFL said: “As you know, following the closure of Hammersmith Bridge earlier this year we have been reviewing bus operations in the surrounding areas.

“We made a number of changes on Saturday 18 May, which were designed to provide or enhance direct links between Roehampton, Mortlake, Barnes and the Tube network at Putney Bridge.

“We wanted to retain a direct link between Barnes, Mortlake and Hammersmith, where there is step-free access to the Tube and to reinstate route 72 to its full length north of the river so it again runs between Hammersmith and East Acton.”
