Transport for London has admitted it is having difficulties with a service through Mill Hill and Edgware after complaints from frustrated travellers.

Bus users in Mill Hill said last week the 221 bus that runs from Edgware bus station through Mill Hill Broadway and up to East Finchley had not picked them up between 7.40am and 8.20am.

Humphrey Harrison, of Flower Lane, said: "You would be entitled to think there would be a bus in the morning when people are going to school or work. For there to be a 40-minute gap between buses without any warning is disgraceful. Then you get two and sometimes three buses travelling bumper to bumper."

A spokesman for Transport For London said: "We are aware that there have been some difficulties with this service and we are in discussion with the operator to remedy it."
