Key facts

  • The P13 links Streatham station with the Sainsbury's store at New Cross Gate
  • From Saturday 10 October 2026 buses come every 20 minutes all day
  • The 15-minute frequency on weekdays up to 9.30pm and Saturdays up to 8.30pm ends
  • A TfL consultation on changes to routes 415 and 333 closes on 15 November 2026

Route P13 is moving to a single 20-minute frequency across the whole day, with the new timetable starting on Saturday 10 October. Transport for London confirmed the change for the route, which runs from Streatham station to the Sainsbury’s store at New Cross Gate.

The change means fewer buses at the busier times. Passengers currently get a bus every 15 minutes on weekdays up to 9.30pm, and on Saturdays up to 8.30pm. Under the new timetable that higher frequency goes, and the gap between buses stretches to 20 minutes from morning to night.

TfL said the revised timetable was set to match the number of people using the route now and the demand it expects in future.

P13 route and stops stay the same

The frequency is the only part of the service that is changing. The P13 will follow its existing route and use the same stops as before, and TfL lists both on its website.

Passengers who travel on weekdays before 9.30pm or on Saturdays before 8.30pm will notice the change most, since those are the hours that had the 15-minute service.

Consultation on bus routes 415 and 333

The P13 change arrives while TfL is asking for views on a separate proposal for two other routes. Under the plan, the 415 would no longer run on its section from Old Kent Road to Tulse Hill. The 333 would be lengthened to cover that part of the 415’s route instead.

The consultation closes on 15 November 2026. Responses can be sent through TfL’s Have Your Say website, which sets out the proposal in full.
