Service 324 (Maple
Cross – Watford) is provided by Arriva on a commercial basis. While the
operating base for the service may in due course be affected by administrative
changes within the Arriva group they do not believe the company has any
intention of withdrawing this route.
Regarding the 258 Service (Watford – Harrow), this is provided by Arriva
on behalf of Transport for London (TfL). For many years the county council has
been making a contribution to the cost of this service amongst others but the
current agreement finishes at the end of the financial year. Herts CC are in
discussions with TfL about the future of this arrangement but meanwhile TFL
have given Herts CC assurance that no changes would be made without them going
through their usual consultation process.
