In June 2018, campaigners claimed to be aware of plans to withdraw the route, despite no official announcement from Transport for London.[3] In August, documents were leaked that discussed the withdrawal of the route.[4] In October 2018, Transport for London held a consultation on proposals to withdraw the route and extend route 55 to Walthamstow.[5] In April 2019, Transport for London confirmed it would go ahead with plans to withdraw the route as part of proposals that would save it £2.5 million per year.[6][7]
