Bus travel through London could be revamped, with one route carrying millions of people each year at risk of closure, while others could be reduced.

The London double-decker buses are an iconic part of life in the capital like the red phone boxes and Paddington Bear.

Bus route 19, which could be cut shorter, even featured on a song by the kings of ‘dad rock’ music, Dire Straits’ song Wild West End.
