4) 
OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS 
 
4.1  
Route No. 55 should interwork with Route No. N55 to form a seamless 24 hour 
service  between Clapton, Kenninghall Road/Thistlewaite Road and Oxford 
Circus, Holles Street in both directions. 
 
4.2) 
Route Nos.  55  & N55  can suffer from  unpredictable traffic delays in the 
Bethnal Green, Shoreditch, Liverpool Street and Oxford Circus areas. 
 
4.3) 
Crossrail will connect the City, Canary Wharf, the West End and Heathrow 
Airport to commuter areas east and west of the capital. Major construction of 
the railway began in 2010, with services expected to commence in 2018. The 
construction impacts of Crossrail could affect Route Nos. 55  & N55  and it is 
anticipated that some passenger demand for Route Nos. 55 & N55 may shift 
to this line when it opens. Route Nos. 55 & N55 will be reviewed closer to the 
opening date.
