Residents on Southbrook Road will soon be consulted by TfL (Transport for London) on possible changes to the Hail and Ride sections of the 273 bus route which runs from Lewisham, Tesco - Hither Green - Lee - Grove Park - Chislehurst - Petts Wood.
From TfL’s consultation letter:
This route operates on a Hail and Ride basis in Manor Park, Staplehurst Road, Fernbrook Road and Southbrook Road. Following discussions with LB Lewisham and in conjunction with the proposed introduction of a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ), we propose to introduce fixed bus stops in these roads. Stops have been identified following a survey arranged with TfL, the bus operator and the Council. The Police were also invited to attend and will receive this consultation letter.
Details of the proposed stopping points on Southbrook Road are:
Towards Petts Wood:
- outside no: 34
- near the rear of the ‘Northbrook’ pub.
Towards Lewisham:
- outside no: 3
- outside no: 35 (option for shelter being investigated)
Subject to the consultation, TFL propose to implement fixed stops as detailed above. At this stage there are no proposals for shelters apart from the options indicated above.
Please let us have your comments - and of you live on Southbrook Road, don’t forget to respond to TFL yourself too - a good response rate increases the chances of TFL listening to residents.
