Re-routing of 205 bus away from Paddington / Marylebone

The 205 bus has been often suggested in the past as a convenient direct alternative to the Underground to travel between between Paddington / Marylebone to Euston / Kings Cross.

However, from 21 June this bus will be re-routed away Paddington / Marylebone to go down Baker Street, eventually to terminate at Marble Arch.

The TfL response to the loss of this link in the consultation was:

These trips can be made in the future via same-stop interchange at pairs of stops changing between bus routes 205 and 27 at stops between Hampstead Road and Baker Street, all of which have shelters.

and

Although journey times are anticipated to become somewhat longer for some passengers, including older, disabled, and vulnerable passengers, and some passengers may have to change buses once, it will not prevent passengers from making their journeys.

Incidentally, there is no change to N205 so you can still have a one seat journey in the small hours.

I can't remember when there hasn't been one bus or another linking all the northern mainline stations
