Extend route 188 to Euston (from Russell Square) along the same roads route 59, 68, 91 and 168 use. It would take at least 5 minutes.

Extend route 129 to Peckham (from Greenwich) via Creek Road, Evelyn Street, Grinstead Road, Surrey Canal Road, Ilderton Road, Old Kent Road, Asylum Road and Queens Road. This can provide a new link between Deptford (Evelyn Street end) and Peckham rather people having to go to Surrey Quays and take 381 or P12. Also extend route 415 to Surrey Canal Road (from Elephant & Castle) via Bricklayers Arms, Old Kent Road, Rotherhithe New Road/Verney Road, South Bermondsey Station and Ilderton Road. This can make the route more useful and provide a link between Brixton and Old Kent Road rather people having to change at Elephant or Peckham. - Wasn't that 129 extension meant to happen? It got cancelled for some reason... - I think the 415 extension would be very useful. But would it be able to turn at Surrey Canal Road? It would have to do some sort of circular via the P12 route (towards Brockley Rise) to get back on to Old Kent Road.

I've come around to this extension but not in the form of the 415. As I've mentioned elsewhere, I'd like to see an extended 432 run from Elmers End to Surrey Canals via Birkbeck, Anerley, Crystal Palace, West Norwood, Tulse Hill, Brixton, Oval, Kennington, Elephant, then onto the Surrey Canal development via the 1 & Ilderton Road.

This happened at London 2012 if I remember correctly, so that the LOCOG buses could stop there. Another proposal would be to extend the 92 via 195 to Brentford County Court, provides more links from Brentford and relieves 195 on this section of route. Journey time is 14 mins according to londonbusroutes.net. Or extend it to Hounslow Bus Station via Windmill Lane and Tentlow Lane, then via 120 to Heston and 111 to Hounslow. The Heston-Hounslow section is about 12 minutes long, but as theres no bus service between Norwood Green and Ealing Hospital, I don't know the running time, so I'd guess the total time is about 16-20 mins long. (sorry if its too long!)

Yes that was the 129 extension but it's main purpose was to serve Convoys Wharf and up till today, they have done little progress there.

This happened at London 2012 if I remember correctly, so that the LOCOG buses could stop there. Yes this was done last year for the Olympics but I think it should be permanent so it could provide a useful link between North Greenwich and Euston. Only one bus would be required which would make the PVR up to 23 or maybe no bus at all.

Every time I go by that area, it looks like they've done quite a bit. They've built a Waitrose and a couple of roads there. I'm sure the route could be extended anyway. It can just drive past the wharf until it's completed.

The Waitrose is along Creek Road across the bridge between Deptford and Greenwich and they have finished building the flats there which are located there. But I don't think the Convoys Wharf development will be completed at the moment.

(sorry if its too long!) Windmill Lane has a nice 3T weight restriction no need for the 92 to be extended either as it is already long enough, 195 is fine to Brentford and has the E8 with it for most of the section. Nor do I see the need for another route in Norwood Green

Wasn't the 129 meant to follow the P12 then just terminate at the bus station?

From Peckham Road, there was a lane for buses & cycles only to turn right into Kelly Avenue - google maps still shows this currently.

Actually that right turn was only removed late last year when the road junction was refurbished involving new set of traffic lights, which coincided with the road resurfacing of Peckham Road, Peckham high-street and Queens Road. Prior to its removal that right turn lane was permanently blocked off with the relevant traffic lights permanently covered, believed to still be working all that time over the years.

Extend the 395 from Westway Cross Retail to Perivale Tesco's via Greenford Road, Western Avenue, Teignmouth Road and Bideford Avenue.
